Marks and reviews

/100

James Suckling

Aromas of fresh mandarins, peaches and grapefruit peel with hints of beeswax and crushed stones. Citrusy and dry on the medium-bodied palate with crisp acidity and a flavorful finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Anne Krebiehl MW

The 2019 Riesling Schlossberg Grand Cru is picked in a parcel of pure granite called Im Tal, sheltered and slightly shaded in the morning, so the fruit does not show dry stress and takes a while to mature. A lifted sense of dried lime and lemon peel with an edge of herbal tincture is beginning to evolve. The palate is completely strait-laced and direct but with a gentle, smooth flow, like cold water gushing at high altitudes. The slender body is mellowed by that herbal tincture vibe, almost lending an edge of balm to this direct, stony, slender wine. Its 6g/L of residual sweetness disappears. Tenderly lasting. (Dry)

La RVF

Great aromatic freshness and a restrained profile, with a finely saline note in the Schlossberg, offering a pure, straightforward expression of the terroir, with controlled ripeness in its depth of flavor.

Yves Beck

The bouquet of this Schlossberg is intense and complex. It shows minerality, notes of anise and white pepper, along with hints of nectarine. Saline and immediately appealing on the attack, the wine is juicy and lively. With good aromatic intensity, it carries this through with a lingering finish. A savoury, subtle wine that certainly hasn’t revealed its full potential yet! One to watch.

Tasting

Mineral, smoky and citrus nuances unfold with elegance. The palate, precise and taut, reveals a pure texture and a finish marked by a delicate salinity.

An Alsace Grand Cru of exceptional finesse from Bott Geyl

The estate

Domaine Bott Geyl, located in Beblenheim in Alsace, is renowned for its commitment to organic and biodynamic farming. The estate places great importance on respecting the unique character of Alsace's terroirs, tending its plots with sustainable, environmentally friendly practices. The crémants and wines of Domaine Bott Geyl reflect this dedication to quality, combining purity and finesse to express the full potential of the region's soils.

The vineyard

The vineyard lies in the village of Kientzheim in Alsace, at the heart of an exceptional terroir. Planted on a small plot of 0.80 hectares, the vines, aged between 25 and 55 years, draw the very best from the decomposed granite that makes up the soil. This subsoil fosters a vibrant minerality and fine tension in the wines. The south to south-west exposure, combined with a steep slope of 30 to 45%, ensures optimal sunlight, allowing the grapes to reach perfect ripeness.

Winemaking and ageing

The grapes are harvested by hand, carefully sorted and transported in 40 kg crates, before undergoing a slow whole-bunch pressing. After 24 hours of static settling, alcoholic fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts at a controlled temperature. Aged on fine lees until September, the wine is only lightly filtered before bottling.
