Alsace, Domaine Paul Kubler, Breitenberg, Aoc Alsace, Blanc
Philippe Kubler, took over his family’s domaine in 2004, carrying on the estate's history that started in 1620. The vineyard of 10 hectares is composed of five main soil types, and grape varieties are selected according to soil type, with the aim of achieving the best expression between grape variety and geological signature. Traditional, respectful winemaking methods such as fermentation in foudres are used, and no pesticides in the vineyard, respecting the biology.
Presentation
Breitenberg, "The Wide Hill", is the most westerly hillside in the area, with the latest climate, due to its proximity to the Vosges mountains, despite its southerly exposure. On the other hand, the nature of its soil and subsoil, made up of avolcia sandstone (sandstone with a calcareous limestone), combined with this microclimate, clearly predestines it for the expression of a great Riesling, from which it draws its characteristic breadth and minerality.
