Rated 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Alongside a wine-trading venture in South Africa, Julien Schaal founded his Alsatian business in 2011—a highly original endeavor, as it is exclusively a wine-trading business based on the purchase of grapes from grand cru vineyards. Currently, nine grand cru wines are on the menu, representing just about every type of soil in the region, and the selection consists solely of Riesling—with the exception of a Gewürztraminer from the Osterberg and a blend from the Altenberg de Bergheim. In a blind tasting, his 2017 vintages blew us away. Hats off!

About the wine:

A neutral yet pleasant nose and texture. A simple yet well-crafted sparkling wine, with a finish that’s longer than the palate would suggest. What more could you ask for from an Alsatian Pinot Blanc? (JR)

Vinous

Wine rated (2026 guide) 89/100

About the wine:

This Crémant d'Alsace Extra Brut NV is from the 2022 vintage; it is a blend composed primarily of Pinot Blanc and a small proportion of Chardonnay, which spent 26 months on the lees. The Chardonnay is grown on granitic soils. It was disgorged in August 2025 with a dosage of 5 grams per liter. The nose is wonderfully pure, with notes of Conference pear sorbet—fresh and lively. The palate is velvety, lively, and creamy. (Very dry)

Wine rated (2026 guide) 92/100

About the wine:

Focused on freshness, the bouquet stands out for its vibrant fruitiness—without being overpowering—featuring aromas of morello cherries and red berries, while the minerality underscores the freshness. Juicy on the palate, the wine follows a precise and well-defined profile with a structure that is both mouthwatering and refreshing. A savory, fresh, and mouthwatering wine! Drink now through 2032
