“On the nose, powerful smoky and mineral notes that lend great intensity and depth to the dark fruit. On the palate, creamy, velvety tannins are skillfully integrated, confirming—for anyone who might have doubted it—Mathieu Deiss’s great expertise in this area. A brief decanting reveals all the toasty, full-bodied finesse of this superb red wine terroir” (Le Guide Bettane + Desseauve 2024)

Wine rated (2024 guide) 96/100

Rated estate (2023 guide): 5*Stars (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)

About the wine:

The nose offers powerful smoky and mineral notes, which lend great intensity and depth to the dark fruit. On the palate, the tannins are creamy, velvety, and skillfully integrated, confirming—for anyone who might have doubted it—Mathieu Deiss’s great expertise in this area. A brief decanting reveals all the toasty, full-bodied finesse of this superb red wine terroir.

About the estate:

While Jean-Michel Deiss spends a great deal of time in his vineyards, it is his son Mathieu who oversees the winemaking process. An engaging winemaker, his sensibility is evident in the evolution of the wines—particularly the Pinot Noirs, which become more delicate and refined with each vintage. For the whites, experiments with maceration lend body and depth to the textures on the palate. As both a winemaker and an entrepreneur, Mathieu has expanded the vineyard from 27 to 45 hectares, including his “Vignoble du Rêveur” project, which he runs with his partner, Emmanuelle Milan. Since 2020, two hectares have been dedicated to the production of grapevines, and the estate has acquired its own planting machine, strengthening its autonomy and mastery of all aspects of winemaking.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 95/100

Rated estate (2024 guide): 4*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience.)

About the wine:

With its slightly wild notes—a blend of bark, fine leather, and ripe vegetal aromas—Burlenberg offers a powerful and structured expression of this great red wine terroir. Perfectly ripe, it has retained all its freshness and features licorice-like tannins.

About the estate:

Mathieu Deiss has succeeded his father, Jean-Michel, as head of this venerable estate in Bergheim. Mixed planting remains the guiding principle, even for the grands crus. Although this method is a time-honored tradition in the region, it is still rarely practiced and remains a source of significant division among winemakers. The Deiss family continues to push the boundaries of this approach, producing compelling, complex wines with marvelous intensity of flavor and incredible balance. Mathieu has also created the Vignoble du Rêveur from his mother’s vineyards in Bennwihr (where he produces, among other things, top-tier orange wines). The wines are exceptional for the region, which can be a bit disorienting for the consumer, but the result is magnificent. With a few years of hindsight, one can analyze the precision of the terroir definitions and these wines’ ability to maintain their own balance. Don’t miss the estate’s unique geo-sensory tasting experience, which helps you understand the relationship between a wine’s characteristics and the terroir from which it was born.
