Burlenberg, Marcel Deiss - 2017

Provenance: Alsace
Appellation: Alsace
Domain: Marcel Deiss
Grape variety(ies): Complantation de pinot noir et beurot
On-call time: 10 years
Alcohol degree: 13.5%

Great red wine with a ruby colour. The nose, of a rare fruity violence (black raspberry, blackcurrant, blackberry, nutmeg and smoke), rebounds on the spicy mouth with its "burnt" tannins so characteristic of Burlenberg. With its volcanic temperament, this wine will surprise you by its originality. Must be decanted 1 hour before serving, great ageing potential.

Technique

Viticulture

One of the most prestigious estates in Alsace, cultivated according to biodynamic principles. Burlenberg is a silicified oolitic limestone terroir with entroques (a terroir similar to that found in Côte de Nuits and more particularly in Clos de Bèze). It is a very hard limestone, not very fertile, limited for water and rich in limestone pebbles and granitic scree.

Suggestions for accompaniment

At ease with all large red meats and even game birds.

Domain

Marcel Deiss

The Deiss estate is located in Bergheim, a village nestled in the heart of Alsace wine country. Born into a family of winegrowers who had been living in Bergheim since 1744, Marcel Deiss chose the profession of arms at the age of 18 and left his native land. Returning to his homeland after the Second World War, he rediscovered his roots and developed his small landholding into a dynamic winegrowing business. Today, run by Jean-Michel and Mathieu Deiss, the estate covers 27 hectares spread over 9 communes and 20 kilometres. The extreme variety of the vineyard (220 plots) has led to a search for the exact balance between the affirmation of the place, the expression of the vintage and the framework of the grape variety for each vintage. The interaction between these factors makes it possible to distinguish the so-called "terroir" vintages: here the place alone expresses its mark, dominating the other contingencies. It determines the style, the exact personality, the very physiognomy of the wine. For the Grands Crus, the indication of the grape variety is often superfluous as the influence of the origin is so strong on its usual expression. This effort, combined with high planting densities (8,000 to 12,000 vines/hectare), makes it possible to express all the fine nuances of the place, its temperament, its deep singularity. According to Jean-Michel Deiss, planting a single grape...
