Hand-harvested grapes from the dry, warm 2018 vintage—marked by mild winters, dry springs, and late-September rains yielding concentrated yet balanced fruit—undergo extended pressing, natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts in old oak barrels, and lees aging to enhance complexity and terroir expression. As a biodynamic pioneer since 1998 under Olivier Humbrecht, this production yields a golden wine with remarkable depth and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e An elegant, aromatic white with ripe stone fruit and floral spice, reflecting Alsace's limestone terroir.
