The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Julien Schaal is a newcomer to the Alsatian wine industry, playing the independence and originality card. In parallel with an adventure in South Africa, the young winemaker created his own structure in 2011 based on the exclusive purchase of Grand Cru grapes, thus illustrating all the types of soil in the region.

In blind tastings, his wines often outclasses many of their peers and the overall quality is simply brilliant. Proof that selection and sourcing count as much as winemaking, Julien Schaal succeeds on both counts and enchants us!
Wine The 2020 White Alsace Grand Cru Schoenenbourg Riesling Gypse develops all the attributes of a great wine, between purity, precision and delicate floral aromas. The perfectly ripe fruit, the ample and graceful palate compose an extremely comforting dry wine, of great tenderness. An energetic and suave wine ready for the table, paired with lake fish for example. A prodigy at this price! Rated 93/100 by our Selection Committee.
Vinification Hand harvested, slow pneumatic pressing, alcoholic fermentation of 4 months.
