Description
White Wine: 2013 | Marcel Deiss | Altenberg de Bergheim
Impressive colour of density and liquor, chocolate reflections, sunset and molten metal. Dense and saturating, sap and cedar, gradually clearing up to melon, peach and tangerine, candied lemon, honey at last. Glorious aromatic finish on ginger. A devastating liquor, with an incredible power on the attack, rushing down the hillside in a tart torrent, coiling on the palate in deafening music and then, in the heart of the storm, unfolding in fruity and candied waves, in cocoa tears. Long and undulating finish like a river.

Reviews:
- Wine Advocate: The2013 Grand Cru Altenberg de Bergheim opens with a very clear, fresh and elegant bouquet with tropical fruit, white-peach and fruit tea aromas. Fresh, almost piquant, beautifully precise, finessed and elegant on the palate, this has an almost lean and straight character. It has a ripe and deliciously sweet but very well defined fruit that finishes with salt, grip and tension, namely a very delicate bitterness and tannic grip. There is a certain astringency in the finish of the 2013.
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.
