LITTLE WINE TREASURE
The Burg terroir, nicknamed “Château” after the majestic Reichenberg castle that stands proudly beside it, is a real gem nestled in the heart of the Alsace vineyards of Bergheim.
Its unique position, flanking the valley floor, makes it a south-facing terroir, giving the vines optimum exposure to the generous Alsatian sunshine. What’s more, it enjoys natural protection from the cold northerly winds, creating a microclimate conducive to ripening the grapes.
It boasts an incredible wealth of geological features. Composed of polycyclic geological formations, the subsoil is mainly marl and limestone. This geological complexity provides the vines with a diversity of minerals that are essential for the development of the grapes, contributing to the unique expression of the wines produced here.
The resulting wines are distinguished by their exceptional maturity, offering rich aromas and depth on the palate. The saline power evokes the mineral character of the subsoil, while the vertical structure reveals the influence of the unique climatic and geological conditions of this parcel.
