Domaine Schieferkopf - Riesling Lieu-dit Berg 2012
15,5/20
Bettane & Desseauve
“Beautiful mineral tension on the palate, a salivating finish, and a very dry aftertaste, whereas Buehl offered a more oily texture. ” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2014) A dominant note of citrus and mirabelle plums characterizes the nose of this single-vineyard cuvée. The palate is lively, with a hint of salty bitterness and lovely minerality.

About the wine:
A lovely mineral tension on the palate, a salivating finish, and a very dry aftertaste—whereas the Buehl offered a more oily texture.
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.
