96/100 Coup de Cœur
RVF
"Let yourself be surprised by the subtleties of this Orange wine"
“Partially macerated, the Moenchberg Pinot Gris should definitely not be served too cold. Its balance is a tour de force; its luminous, slender, and voluptuous body dances on the palate and lingers in a spicy, caressing finish.” (The RVF Guide 2024).

Rated estate (2023 guide): 3*Stars (These represent the excellence of French vineyards. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience.)
About the wine:
Partially macerated, the Moenchberg Pinot Gris should never be served too cold. Its balance is a true feat; its luminous, slender, and voluptuous body dances on the palate and lingers in a spicy, caressing finish.
About the estate:
Antoine, the son of Marc Kreydenweiss, has been at the helm of this estate in Andlau since 2007; it is among the pioneers of biodynamics in Alsace. The diversity of the estate’s terroirs and their subtle interpretation have always been a strength here, reinforced by the changes Antoine has implemented (slower pressing and extended aging on lees). The risks taken in vinifying many cuvées without sulfur (or with minimal levels) are paying off and do not result in the slightest flaw. A small line of wines made from purchased organic grapes has been launched under the label “Lune à Boire.” The Pinot Noir and macerated wines (not rated) are of the highest caliber. The standards have returned to the highest level with wines of rare vitality, and continue to deepen, with ambitious four-year aging for the 2017 Grand Cru Rieslings. These exciting wines, with their rare vitality, have earned the estate its third star this year.

Review by Mr. HERVE G. Published on November 10, 2025
Cloudy, no nose—impossible to identify as Pinot Gris. Tasted with eight guests, and the verdict was unanimous. It’s incomprehensible that the wine guides would give it such high scores... I do love the estate’s Rieslings, though, but honestly, orange wine at this price—what a scandal!
