Jean Pierre Rietsch
In Mittelbergheim, Alsace, Jean-Pierre Rietsch manages his estate using an organic approach, combined with meticulous natural winemaking. His work in the vineyard aims for perfect balance, allowing the grapes to express their origin without seeking over-ripeness.
The Rieslings, Sylvaners, and Pinot Gris are vinified in a dry and precise style, characterized by a clear tension and measured aromatics. Fermentation is long, and aging is patient, resulting in wines that are both legible and stable, with limited but always controlled interventions. This approach preserves the clarity of the wines' profiles without resorting to imprecision.
The wines are distinguished by their digestibility, delicate texture, and balanced structure on the palate, supported by lingering finishes. The estate's entire operation is meticulously managed for the consistency of its technical choices and the precision of its expressions, offering a restrained and faithful interpretation of the Mittelbergheim terroir.
