"Spiegel more vigorous and full-bodied, spirited wine and so persistent." (RVF) "

"The Gewurztraminer Spiegel Grand Cru 2023 is made exclusively from non-botrytized fruit. A touch of navel orange peel is accompanied by a hint of honeysuckle, but the whole remains supple. The palate is a picture of juicy, ripe mirabelle plums with a lovely touch of orange peel. This is a rich but restrained Gewurztraminer, with plenty of liveliness and balance." (Vinous 2025)

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.

Wine rated ( 2026 guide) 96/100 Favorite

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:

We find in the gewurztraminers the precision of expression of the grands crus, [...] Spiegel more vigorous and full-bodied, a spirited wine that is so persistent.

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.
