花崗岩が刻む、スモーキーなミネラル。

花崗岩と粘土質土壌が生む、張りのある酸とスモーキーなミネラルが印象的なリースリング。淡いレモンイエローの色調から、ライムやレモンピールを基調に、パッションフルーツや白桃のエキゾチックなニュアンスが広がります。シャープな酸が全体を引き締め、中盤には果実の厚みと旨味。余韻は長く、塩味を帯びたミネラルと柑橘の苦味が心地よく残ります。オマール海老のポシェや舌平目のムニエルとともに。

Tasting note

Tasting note

A pale lemon yellow in color with a delicate sheen. The aroma is based on fresh citrus fruits, lime and lemon peel, with exotic nuances reminiscent of passion fruit and white peach. Furthermore, flint and smoky minerals from the granite form a structure that adds complexity. In the mouth, the sharp acidity is impressive from the attack, and the taut structure tightens the entire wine. The mid-palate is rich in fruit and umami, with a subtle hint of honey from aging. The finish is long, with salty minerals and a pleasant citrus bitterness.

About the producer

Domaine Schoenheitz

[Pure and delicate flavors born from the finest terroir in Alsace]

Located on the edge of the Alsace Wine Route, Schoenheitz's vineyards are concentrated on the steep slopes of the beautiful Munster Valley, at the gateway to the Vosges Mountains. These slopes are home to some of the highest vineyards in Alsace, in places so steep that they cannot be reached by tractor. The granite soils and challenging growing conditions allow for the purity and finesse of Alsace's noble grape varieties.

In the Middle Ages, the Ville-au-Val vineyards were owned by the Habsburg and Ribeauvillé families and were already renowned for their high quality wines. Located in the heart of the Munster Valley, the Alsatian soil had all the conditions for producing great wines. However, wars brought ruin to the area, and by the end of World War II it was in ruins.

In the 1970s, Henri Schoenheitz Sr., a lover of his native Alsace, set about restoring the beautiful vineyards that were on the verge of disappearing, slowly restoring the Ville-au-Val vineyard to its original appearance. Clearing the soil and replanting the steep slopes was an extremely difficult task, and it is still carried out today by his son Henri Jr., together with his wife Dominique.

In 1980, freshly trained in oenology and viticulture, Dominique and the young Henri Schoenheitz harvested their first grapes. Schoenheitz wine didn't exist until then; it was still part of a cooperative. As the village's only independent winegrowers, the young winemakers quickly established their own style: one that combined sustainable farming with gourmet wines.

In 1995, the "vingt sur vins" recognised 15 years of activity. Since then, numerous awards have followed: Guide Bettane & Desseauve, Guide Hachette, Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, James Suckling and Decanter Award. In 2015, for the first time, the winery was included in La Revue du Vin de France's "Guide Vert des meilleurs vins de France" (Guide Vert des meilleurs vins de France), and in 2020, it joined the small group of starred producers.
