2017 | Marcel Deiss | Mambourg

Great white wine for gastronomy, dry, spherical and very fat. Power sometimes exaggerated and extreme complexity. A suave and patinated roundness surrounding the lemon seed in the centre. Deep, clear wine without being luminous. Charged colours: brown, havana, milk chocolate. Evolves towards yellows, more fruit. Extremely concentrated wine, provoking an impressive salivation, horizontal, tingling, very tanned, exalted by carbon dioxide. Then appears the acidity; major, powerful, very broad and tartaric.

Reviews:

• James Suckling: Very complex nose of caramelized nuts and baked pears with many delicate, spicy notes. Powerful, full-bodied and concentrated dry white that remains so clean and moves gracefully across the palate. Very clean and rather firm, chalky finish that suggests this is still not at its peak. A co-fermented field-blend of varieties with excellent long-term aging potential. From organically grown grapes.

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.
