Altenberg de Bergheim 2013 Marcel Deiss

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

Picked five weeks later than the Mambourg, and selected rigorously due too the difficult weather conditions, the 2013 Grand Cru Altenberg de Bergheim opens with a very clear, fresh and elegant bouquet with tropical fruit, white-peach and fruit tea aromas. Fresh, almost piquant, beautifully precise, finessed and elegant on the palate, this has an almost lean and straight character. It has a ripe and deliciously sweet but very well defined fruit that finishes with salt, grip and tension, namely a very delicate bitterness and tannic grip. There is a certain astringency in the finish of the 2013. The Altenberg is from calcareous clay soil and planted with almost everything including Riesling, Gewurz and Pinot Gris.
