2004 | Marcel Deiss | Schoenenbourg Grand Cru

Amazingly harmonious. Diverse sweetly-scented flowers, candied citrus, tea, honey, and high-toned herbal distillates in the nose usher in a supremely unctuous yet ravishingly refined palate of liqueur-like concentrated sweetness. Astonishingly penetrating, the finish here billows to the point of lift-off. Definitely worth tasting!

Reviews:

• James Suckling: A hint of peat smoke counterpoints rich flavors of flowers, candied citrus, tea, honey and spice in this off-dry white, which shows a silky texture and a long, vanilla-laced finish, all enlivened by bright, tangy acidity.

• Wine advocate: From a mosaic of small parcels in this gypsum-rich Grand Cru planted in the 1930s to Pinot Gris, Riesling (including red or black variants!), Gewurztraminer, Muscat, and Sylvaner, Deiss' 2004 Schoenenbourg (or - as the label slightly pompously puts it - Grand Vin de Schoenenbourg) captivates with its extraordinary alliance of richness, elegance, and refinement. Diverse sweetly-scented flowers, candied citrus, tea, honey, and high-toned herbal distillates in the nose usher in a supremely unctuous yet ravishingly refined palate of liqueur-like concentrated sweetness, yet shot through with juicy citricity and suffused with crushed stone. Astonishingly penetrating, the finish here billows to the point of lift-off.

Producer Information

Marcel Deiss is a French wine producer located in the small village of Bergheim in Alsace. The Deiss family have been growing grapes in the region since 1744 with the domaine established in 1947. Today, the Deiss vineyards are planted to Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Muscat are produced as varietal wines as well as traditional field blends. The domaine covers 32 hectares (79 acres) of vineyard land planted on hillsides that spread over multiple communes. This includes land in the Mambourg, Altenberg de Bergheim and Schoenenbourg vineyards, all of which are produced as blends to showcase the character of the terroir rather than the grape. Marcel Deiss was instrumental in convincing the INAO to make varietal labeling optional for both AOC Alsace and Alsace Grand Cru wines. Marcel Deiss makes a range of wines at various levels of quality, from the generic Alsace AOC all the way up the Grand Cru wines. There is also a small range of Vendange Tardive and Sélection de Grains Nobles wines made from Alsace's noble varieties.
