Kreydenweiss Clos du Val d'Éléon 2023

A white wine from Alsace made from Riesling and Pinot Gris grown on blue-grey schist at Villé. The vines are farmed organically and biodynamically, harvested by hand, and pressed slowly as whole bunches. Fermentation and malolactic conversion use indigenous yeasts, followed by ageing on lees in oak foudres for a year. It is bottled unfiltered and without added sulphites. The nose shows pure white fruit aromas with a marked mineral expression. On the palate it is precise, tense and balanced, with straight, fresh fruit supported by fine, persistent minerality and good length. It suits seafood, fish and tarte flambée, served between 11 and 13 °C, preferably after decanting. It can be enjoyed now and has ageing potential of around 15 years.
