Pale straw with silvery glints—crisp and luminous.
👃 On the Nose:
Fresh and elegant, with aromas of lime zest, green apple, and white peach. Underlying notes of flint, wild herbs, and citrus blossom speak to its mineral-laden terroir.

Linear and focused, with zesty citrus, tart orchard fruit, and a stony, chalky backbone. Lively acidity adds tension, while the finish is clean, dry, and refreshingly persistent.

Delicious in its youth, yet capable of ageing 5–8 years to develop deeper nuance and complexity.
✨ Why You’ll Love It:
‘Marnes et Calcaires’ reflects the heart of Alsace Riesling—dry, racy, and terroir-transparent. A wine of clarity and charm, equally at home on a sunny terrace or a white tablecloth.
