Marc Kreydenweiss - Alsace Grand Cru Moenchberg Pinot Gris 2020 (Vin Orange)
96/100 Coup de Cœur
RVF
"Let yourself be surprised by the subtleties of this orange wine."
"Partially macerated, the Pinot Gris Moenchberg should not be served too chilled. Its balance is a tour de force, its luminous, slender, and voluptuous flesh dances on the palate and lingers with a spicy and caressing finish." (Le Guide RVF 2024).

Rated estate (2023 guide) 3 stars (These represent the excellence of French vineyards. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical moment.)
About wine:
Partially macerated, Pinot Gris Moenchberg should not be served too chilled. Its balance is a tour de force, its bright, slender, and voluptuous flesh dances on the palate and lingers with a spicy, caressing finish.
About the estate:
Antoine, Marc Kreydenweiss's son, has been at the helm of this estate in Andlau since 2007, one of the pioneers of biodynamics in Alsace. The variety of terroirs on the estate and their subtle interpretation has always been a strong point here, reinforced by the changes implemented by Antoine (slower pressing and prolonged aging on lees). The risks taken in vinifying a number of cuvées without sulfur (or with minimal levels) are paying off and do not result in the slightest defect. A small range of wines made from purchased organic grapes has been created under the name Lune à Boire. The Pinot Noir and macerated wines (not rated) are of the highest quality. Standards have returned to their highest level with wines of rare vitality, and continue to improve, with ambitious four-year aging for the 2017 Riesling grands crus. These exciting wines, with their rare vitality, have earned the estate its third star this year.

Note and opinion by Mr. HERVE G. Published on 11/10/2025
Troubled, no nose, impossible to identify Pinot Gris. Tasted with eight guests and unanimous opinion. Incomprehensible that the guides give such high ratings... I love the estate's Rieslings, but frankly, orange wine at this price is scandalous!
