Alsace Chapoutier - Schieferkopf

Our committee's review

Star of the Rhône Valley, Michel Chapoutier holds one of the most impressive line-ups of crus around.
His winemaking skill and deep knowledge of the vineyard give him an unrivalled ability to uncover standout terroirs.

Schieferkopf is a perfect example — a rising name from Alsace (and Germany), which he’s been nurturing organically since 2015. The estate lies on Alsace’s only vein of blue schist, with generous sun exposure and a complex patchwork of soils.

With its delicate notes of lemon and a touch of butter, the 2015 Alsace Riesling Lieu-Dit Buehl Berg strikes a perfect balance between structure and elegance. The saline finish brings just the right tension, adding lift and length. It’s already showing beautifully, though it still has a few good years ahead. A smart match for white meats, terrines, or foie gras — if you're after something drier than the usual sweet wine pairing.

The 2015 Alsace Riesling Lieu-Dit Buehl White brings together tension, firmness, and length with grace and precision. This is a structured, powerful wine with serious shape. After ten years, it shows off striking complexity, with layers of citrus, ripe fruit, and tropical notes. It’s a food wine through and through, driven by lovely bitterness and a saline finish — made for zander in beurre blanc or a platter of shellfish.

The 2015 Alsace Riesling Lieu-Dit Buehl Fels White is a pure expression of the grape’s mineral side. It strikes a fine balance between energy, elegance, and power, with a lovely mineral reduction on the palate and subtle smoky notes. Perfect as an apéritif or alongside roast poultry.

The quintessence of terroir-driven Riesling at its peak — personally endorsed by Olivier Poussier, Best Sommelier in the World!
