Description
The Gustave Lorentz Riesling Bio Grand Cru Kanzlerberg belongs to the absolute top of Alsace. This organic Grand Cru Riesling comes from the prestigious Kanzlerberg, the smallest Grand Cru vineyard in Alsace. Thanks to the exceptional terroir, low yields, and Gustave Lorentz's craftsmanship, a wine of impressive power, refinement, and exceptional aging potential is created. A wine for lovers of great Rieslings with character and depth.
Citrus, white fruit and impressive minerality
This Riesling has a bright golden yellow color and an expressive aroma of citrus, ripe white fruit, and subtle notes of tropical fruit. On the palate, the wine is rich and powerful, yet refined and elegant. The characteristic minerality, fresh acidity, and a slightly saline touch create a beautiful balance and an exceptionally long finish. It is a gastronomic wine that will continue to develop further in the coming years.
Grand Cru Kanzlerberg – A unique terroir
At just 3.23 hectares, Kanzlerberg is the smallest Grand Cru in Alsace and has been known for its exceptional quality for centuries. The steep, south- and southwest-facing slopes consist of a unique combination of heavy clay, limestone, and marl, a soil type not found anywhere else in Alsace. These special conditions give the Riesling its powerful structure, refined minerality, and impressive complexity. Gustave Lorentz owns a large part of this historic vineyard, making them one of the most important producers of Kanzlerberg.
Perfect with luxury fish dishes and crustaceans
This Grand Cru Riesling fully comes into its own with refined dishes such as grilled lobster, sea bass, turbot, smoked salmon, eel, and trout. It also forms a splendid combination with rich fish dishes with creamy sauces and refined shellfish and crustaceans. Thanks to its great aging potential, it is also a wine that will develop beautifully further in the cellar.
