ABOUT THE PLACE-DIT
The wines of Haguenau de Bergheim have the ability to make all consumers understand the salinity theme on the palate, even the neophyte, so strong is the particularity of this touch on the palate.
The first years the aromatic intensity is very discreet and not affiliated with the grape variety. There are notes of earth, yellow fruit, dry fruit slightly overripe and roasted. The palate is very carnal and generous underlined by a beautiful saline acidity which immediately opens the salivary glands; hence a salty touch on the palate that satisfies customers in Nordic countries and destabilizes consumers in Latin countries.
This structural power refines with age to reveal the elegance of minerality combined with extraordinary length.
The influence of the place combined with the terroir, age, maturation in the bottle, decanting, gem salts, the salty side of magnesia give the wine a subtle combination of breathtaking sweet and savory.
The Gewurztraminer grape variety is powerfully constrained by this terroir which gives it an orientation more focused on materials than on fruit. Rather high pH, ​​rather low acidity; passerillage and botytization play the role of concentrators which extend its guard.
With a few years in the bottle, the intensity of the aromas is subtly revealed on the nose and on the palate. This sensation of salinity associated with noble bitterness and overripe fruit amazes the taste buds. The subtle harmony of natural resources in their youth improves wonderfully over time.
