This bottle bears witness to the expression of the Lieu-dit Pfoeller with the sole influence of the Alsatian microclimate.
Located on a zone of faults, this clay-limestone soil is composed of Muschelkalk to the west and Bajocien to the east and overlooks the town of Ingersheim. This wine is made up of several plots, the “Erdhaeuser” planted in 1964 and 1969 and the “Baenert” in 1972.
Following a manual harvest, the juices ferment naturally under the impulse of indigenous yeasts. Aging on lees takes place for almost a year in century-old oak barrels.
Justin Boxler Description
The Origines wines are the testimony of the expression of a place in its most singular way, transcribed in the bottle with the sole influence of the Alsatian micro-climate.
Selection of different predominantly granitic and marl-limestone plots on the steep and sunny terroirs of Niedermorschwihr, Katzenthal, Turckheim and Ingersheim.
Harvested by hand, gentle pressing for six hours to preserve the aromatics of the grapes. Natural fermentation in hundred-year-old oak barrels. Aging on fine lees for one winter before bottling in the summer.
