"Expression of Riesling and richness of terroir".
"The complex, vibrant nose of wild herbs and flowers draws you into this extremely compact and precise dry Riesling that cleverly underestimates its power and concentration. It's still very young and will reveal itself even better after a few years in bottle, but there's no doubt that this wine is already very upright and structured. Extremely long and complete finish. Drink now, but preferably from 2025 onwards". (James Suckling 2022)

Wine rated (2024 guide) 95/100
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
Full-bodied and saline on the palate, this wine with its powerful floral aromas is in perfect harmony with its soil. Here too, terroir dominates the grape variety.
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.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 95/100
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 wine:
Impressive saline tension in the Kitterlé Riesling, with its vigorous sap and smoky glow on the finish: a straightforward, sharp, deep wine with outstanding persistence and intensity of flavor.
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.
