“‘A wine that successfully combines austerity, charm, and freshness.’ (Yves Beck)”

“Very honeyed and exotic, with incredible depth of mango aromas and more subtle hints of candied orange and hard caramel. So concentrated and precise, with as much vitality as density on the palate—full-bodied yet energetic. It’s just beginning to take on a character all its own. What incredible energy in this extremely long finish.” (James Suckling 2025)

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

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) 96/100 (Extraordinary wine)

About the wine:

The 2020 Altenberg Grand Cru, with its golden color, is crystal-clear, deep, elegant, and cocoa-like on the nose, with citrus aromas. Generous yet elegant and refined on the palate, this is a full-bodied, complex, and subtly tannic Altenberg with a briny quality, featuring a long, smooth, briny, and citrusy finish that once again reveals notes of melt-in-your-mouth dark chocolate, mint, and bitter citrus/orange notes. Declared alcohol content: 12%. Natural cork. Tasted at the winery in April 2024.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 96/100

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:

The Altenberg’s aromatic complexity is already apparent, and even though its body still offers a balanced roundness, it is meant for aging and will blossom in 15 to 20 years into a magnificent white wine with a fresh, lively character.

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 deep 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 consumers, 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.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 96/100

About the wine:

A superb bouquet that combines complexity, radiance, and intensity. Hints of vetiver, leaves, curry, and citrus, all while hinting at sweetness. This sweetness is, of course, noticeable right from the first sip—from a taste perspective, that is. The wine is very well-rounded, fully developed, youthful yet well-structured, composed, and ready to stand the test of time—or rather, the decades to come. A wine that successfully blends austerity, charm, and freshness. 2028–2045 96/100
