DOMAINE MARC KREYDENWEISS
The name of this domain prevails over two regions, the Bas-Rhin, for three centuries, and the Gard since 1999. Antoine, the son, takes over the land of Andlau and Marc, the father, works his vineyard in the south. But both are guided by the same passion for land. Antoine produces wines mainly from riesling varieties, pinot gray and pinot white on a multitude of shale, sandstone or granite soils. Three soils rank in large cru: Kastelberg, Wiebelsberg and Moenchberg. The wines surprise with their minerality and freshness (always in a dry style). For the Moenchberg, produced from the tertiary soil that the Rhine has deposited there, we love its fruity, spicy and opulent notes. The riesling from Kastelberg is long, mineral, and only gives its exceptional measure after a few years on call. Some good cups of the moment: Riesling Grand Cru Kastelberg 2015, pinot gris Grand Cru Moenchberg 2016, pinot Kritt 2016.
