“Full of restraint and subtlety, the Kessler Riesling weaves a unique symphony, blending the depth of the clay with the vibrant, salty character of the sandstone. Already highly expressive, it has the potential to stand the test of time.” (Le Guide RVF 2023)

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.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 95/100

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:

Full of restraint and subtlety, the Kessler Riesling weaves a unique symphony, blending the depth of the clay with the vibrant, salty character of the sandstone. Already highly expressive, it has the potential to stand the test of time.

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.

About the wine:

Ludivine Hell-Cadé and Jean Dirler didn’t just get married—they also merged their respective plots in the Kessler Grand Cru. Hailing from this protected site, the 2020 Kessler Grand Cru Riesling offers a subtle nose of stone and dried herbs. It has a lovely flavor and a beautifully nuanced balance of lemon and lime notes, making it thoroughly appetizing. The finish is a symphony of ripe, tangy citrus zest. Charming, long-lasting, highly aromatic, and bone-dry. (Bone-dry)
