The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Star of the Rhône Valley, Michel Chapoutier holds one of the most impressive line-ups of crus around.
His winemaking skill and deep knowledge of the vineyard give him an unrivalled ability to uncover standout terroirs.

Schieferkopf is a perfect example — a rising name from Alsace (and Germany), which he’s been nurturing organically since 2015. The estate lies on Alsace’s only vein of blue schist, with generous sun exposure and a complex patchwork of soils.
Wine With its delicate notes of lemon and a touch of butter, the 2015 Alsace Riesling Lieu-Dit Buehl Berg strikes a perfect balance between structure and elegance. The saline finish brings just the right tension, adding lift and length. It’s already showing beautifully, though it still has a few good years ahead. A smart match for white meats, terrines, or foie gras — if you're after something drier than the usual sweet wine pairing.
Vinification Hand harvested. Long pressing, static cold settling. Alcoholic fermentation using indigenous yeasts, then aged in casks with malolactic fermentation for 15 months.


Certified organic wine.
