Marcel’s son Matthew Deiss has brought his own fine sensibility to the family domaine. I particularly resonated with this field blend from the Gruenspiel—a vineyard of granitic, sandstone and gneiss gravel over the deeper marls.
The wine is bottled after 12 months in large foudres and corked with a glass stopper. Loved the light maceration. And even though the wine has a hefty alcohol, it has a feeling of being barely there, but it is rich and lovely at the same time. And I love the grit on the texture. Imported by Becky Wasserman & Co.
