This “Hill of Love” (Liebenberg in Alsatian) is a Zusslin family estate. The palate is full-bodied and refined, with a gentle bitterness on the finish that gives it an airy quality. A wine that reveals itself year after year—for those with patience!

About the estate:
The work of Jean-Paul and Marie Zusslin, who carry on the family winemaking tradition dating back to 1691, has been exemplary for several years now. Based in Orschwihr, on a beautiful vineyard, they form a passionate, charismatic duo dedicated to a job well done. And they’re taking on more and more projects: designing a new bottle, installing dozens of beehives and birdhouses throughout the vineyards.... Each has their own role: Marie handles marketing, while Jean-Paul works in the vineyards and the cellar. Biodynamic viticulture since 1997, meticulous winemaking, and precise aging sum up the work of this leading estate, where the focus on individual plots is ever-present, even in the crémants. The excellence of their lineup suggests they may rise in our rankings!
