What strikes you at first is the perfect balance between a sensation of crystalline purity, finesse and an extraordinary density. The bouquet gracefully intertwines notes of white and yellow flowers, citrus (kumquat, grapefruit), white fruit, mirabelle plum, and wet stone. The juice is both ample and deliciously fresh and energetic. The wine is invigorating but also very deep, developing a literally vibrant spicy framework without ever faltering.

Technique

Viticulture

The letter "K" refers to the Kirschberg, a sub-lieu included in the Brand, which is a rather large Grand Cru. This is an ultra-confidential cuvée (6 to 700 bottles) made from old vines (planted in 1946), isolated and produced in the best vintages, so as not to impoverish the classic Brand.

Oenology

Alcoholic fermentation is generally carried out with indigenous yeasts and malolactic fermentation is not sought. The pressings on whole grapes are slow and the settling that follows is not very thorough. The wine is fermented in large tuns. Total sulphur levels are low for the region (80 mg/l) and only 20 mg of free sulphur at bottling.
