“The nose is delicately floral, with notes of hawthorn and yellow fruits. On the palate, the wine reveals the ripeness of the grapes and candied citrus. A balanced and complex wine with a lovely finish.” (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2019 - RVF) A pure and subtle Riesling.

Rated estate (2023 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

An iconic Bergholtz estate for two generations now. The 18 hectares cultivated using biodynamic methods are the result of the partnership between Jean Dirler and Ludivine Cadé. Within the lineup, the fine terroirs of Saering, Kitterlé, Kessler, and especially Spiegel offer great aging potential, allowing the slight residual sugars to integrate fully.

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

Wine rated (2017 guide) 93+/100 (Outstanding wine)

About the wine:

The 2015 Riesling Grand Cru Saering Vendanges Tardives was harvested on September 29 with 40 to 50% noble rot and fermented to 12.9% alcohol, plus 64 grams of residual sugar. The wine opens with an intense bouquet of grapefruit and flint—an incredibly pure and invigorating citrus aroma with notes of crushed stone. Full-bodied, rich, and elegant, it is a generous yet crisp and briny Riesling that tastes much drier than the analytical figures suggest. The wine displays remarkable elegance and finesse, a lingering finish, and a stimulating salinity. It simply requires patience—say, 10 to 15 years.

Wine rated (2018 guide) 16,5/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2025 guide): 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience.)

About the wine:

A plot of old vines; the grapes, more than 60% of which were affected by botrytis, were sorted. A powerful finish.

About the estate:

Jean Dirler and his wife Ludivine, sensitive and seasoned winemakers, skillfully steer this estate founded in 1871, which has been passed down from father to son for five generations and has been cultivated biodynamically since 1998. Regardless of the grape variety, the precision of the wines, their body, and their ripeness have never been more refined: an impressive range of great dry white wines culminates in the magnificent expressions of the Spiegel, Saering, Kessler, and Kitterlé grands crus—which are an absolute must-try—and which are now named after the four elements (fire, air, earth, water). This estate offers a remarkable welcome, and many wines are available in older vintages. The exceptional quality of the entire range in the most recent vintages has earned it its third star this year.

Review by Mr. DIDIER P. Published on February 27, 2021

Mineral, very powerful. Beautiful floral aroma. The palate is initially bold, followed by a mellow flavor with a long, smooth, and deep finish. Perfect with a pan-seared slice of foie gras served with sliced apples or pears that have been cooked in the same pan juices. Famous!
