Burg - page 2

The Burg vineyard, a monopole of the Marcel Deiss estate, lends its name to the prestigious Burg cuvée, which could aptly be considered a Premier Cru of Alsace. This vineyard is unique in that it brings together all the indigenous grape varieties of Alsace in a mixed planting system. Located south of the village of Bergheim, it borders the Burlenberg vineyard and stretches across a south-facing slope, on soils of variegated Keuper marl with occasional limestone intercalations. Burg wine is rich, powerful, complex, and structured. It deserves 10 to 20 years of cellaring before being enjoyed and revealing its striking citrus and bitter aromas.
