“Riesling, Sylvaner, Muscat, and Gewürztraminer grown in a vineyard planted in 1938: a nose of star anise and candied lemon; on the palate, this wine is savory, full-bodied, and deep, impressing with its concentration while remaining light and elegant.” (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2021 - RVF)

Wine rated (2020 guide) 92+/100 (Outstanding wine)

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

The 2017 Kammerlas comes from the family’s oldest vineyard plot, which was planted in 1938–39 in the heart of what would become the Pfingstberg Grand Cru a few decades later. As in the past, the blend of Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Muscat Ottonel, and Sylvaner was harvested and vinified together in stainless steel tanks, rather than in large oak casks, which are the estate’s traditional vessels. Only 700 bottles were produced from this remarkably elegant and refreshing yet substantial and concentrated terroir wine, whose maturity, power, and concentration reflect the warm, early-ripening vintage, while its minerality and tension stem from the limestone-sandstone soils of the Bollenberg. Very long and concentrated, this is still a very young wine that will benefit from bottle aging.

Wine rated (2021 guide) 95/100 Favorite

Rated Estate (2021 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the wine:

Riesling, Sylvaner, Muscat, and Gewürztraminer grown together in a vineyard planted in 1938: this wine offers aromas of star anise and candied lemon on the nose, with a savory palate that is full-bodied and deep; it impresses with its concentration while remaining light and elegant.

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 in 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 a plot-by-plot approach is ever-present, even in the crémants. The excellence of their lineup suggests they may move up in our rankings!

About the wine:

A very complex dry white that doesn’t fit into any conventional category; it’s very fragrant on the nose, reminiscent of Gewürztraminer, but on the palate it’s so firm and fresh—which is completely different from Gewürztraminer. Plenty of candied orange, as well as dried herbs and angelica. I love the very dry, mineral finish, which is full of energy. Made from vines in the heart of the Pfingstberg Grand Cru. Ready to drink now.
