"A delight for pairings!"
"An already very glorious floral bouquet, followed by a very present finish and a dry, firm palate. A serious wine with beautiful structure. Perfectly suited to accompanying food. An almost thrilling finish." (Jancis Robinson 2025)

About the domain :
In 2011, Julien Schaal set up his own Alsatian structure in parallel with a trading venture in South Africa, a highly original venture since it is based exclusively on the purchase of Grand Cru grapes. There are currently nine grands crus on the menu, covering just about every soil type in the region, and only Riesling is offered, with the exception of a gewurzt from Osterberg and a blend from Altenberg de Bergheim. A blind tasting of his 2017s blew us away. Hats off to him!
