Kessler means the cauldron. This South and South-East terroir protected from the Northern winds, create wine with power and warmth which is why the ‘Fire’ element is linked to this unique Grand Cru. The soils are made of sand, clay and Vosgien sandstone from the Bundsandstein, those soils are red in colour. It’s also import to note the altitude of this vineyard 300 to 390 m and it’s steep exposure. Work of the soil by ploughing to encourage deep roots for a better terroir expression. The vines that make this wine are in average 41 years old. Hand-picked, whole bunch pressing “a l’Alsacienne” with a pneumatic press, fermentation with natural yeast. Ageing on lees for 11 months. Drink now or in the next 10 years after vintage.
