Domaine Dirler-Cadé - Gewurztraminer Kitterlé Grand Cru Élément Terre 2019
95/100
James Suckling
"Very rich and succulent with an enveloping creaminess, but only a touch of sweetness and almost no perceptible bitterness, this is a remarkable gewurz that is surprisingly easy to drink, thanks to the silky texture and excellent balance of the very long finish. Made from biodynamically grown grapes. Drink it or cellar it. (James Suckling 2022)

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
An emblematic Bergholtz estate for two generations now. The 18 hectares of biodynamic vineyards are the result of the union of Jean Dirler and Ludivine Cadé. In the range, the fine terroirs of Saering, Kitterlé, Kessler and especially Spiegel have great ageing potential, allowing the slight residual sugars to melt away.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of the French vineyard. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical moment)
About the domain :
Sensitive and experienced winemakers, Jean Dirler and his wife Ludivine are at the helm of this estate, founded in 1871, handed down from father to son for five generations, and biodynamic since 1998. Whatever the grape variety, the wines' precision, density and maturity have never been better: an impressive range of great dry white wines culminates in the magnificent expressions of the Spiegel, Saering, Kessler and Kitterlé grands crus, which are a must-discover and are now named after the four elements (fire, air, earth, water). This house offers an outstanding welcome, and many wines are available in older vintages. The exceptional quality of the entire range in recent vintages has earned the house its third star this year.

About the wine:
A broad nose of spices and exotic fruits (lychee, but also papaya and mangosteen!) Very rich and succulent with an enveloping creaminess, but only a touch of sweetness and almost no perceptible bitterness, this is a remarkable gewurz that is surprisingly easy to drink, thanks to the silky texture and excellent balance of the very long finish. Made from biodynamically grown grapes. For drinking or cellaring.
