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 The 2015 Alsace Riesling Lieu-Dit Buehl Fels White is a pure expression of the grape’s mineral side. It strikes a fine balance between energy, elegance, and power, with a lovely mineral reduction on the palate and subtle smoky notes. Perfect as an apéritif or alongside roast poultry.
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.
