The Grand Cru Pfingstberg is an exceptional Riesling, cultivated at an altitude of 300 meters on a terroir characterized by its clay-sandstone texture. This wine benefits from an ideal microclimate, protected by the Vosges Massif and oriented southeast. The vines, planted in the 1950s, are hand-harvested and aged on fine lees, ensuring significant minerality and aromatic complexity. Biodynamic winemaking adds an authentic dimension to this remarkable wine.

Domaine Valentin Zusslin
In Haut-Rhin, Domaine Valentin Zusslin has practiced biodynamic viticulture for many years, particularly on the hillsides of Bollenberg and around Orschwihr. These areas, characterized by varied soils and a dry, windy climate, provide a favorable environment for precise and balanced expressions of Alsatian grape varieties.
Rieslings, Gewürztraminers, and Pinot Noirs are meticulously crafted with constant attention to ripeness and the preservation of freshness. The wines are distinguished by pure fruit, a clean structure, and sustained energy on the palate. Aging processes are carefully managed, imparting depth and persistence without weighing down the profiles or masking the grapes' origin.
The entire range of cuvées exhibits significant stylistic coherence, driven by a strong sense of place. The estate offers a rigorous and transparent interpretation of its terroirs, where tension and precision are constant hallmarks.
