Inspired by the wines of Franconia (Germany), Michel Chapoutier set out to find Sylvaner to expand his range of Alsace wines. The wine showcases the variety’s freshness and crispness, with hints of licorice and the minerality so characteristic of the winemaker.

About the estate:
Biodynamic farming always takes a few years to show results, both in terms of root development and soil health, and Michel Chapoutier knows this well, having purchased this estate in 2009 with a few friends who are connoisseurs of fine wines. Located in northern Alsace, on a vein of blue schist, the estate is gradually finding its footing. The single-vineyard Rieslings (Burg, Buehl, and Fels) are beginning to reveal the subtle nuances of their soil.
