The grapes come mainly from the Grand Cru Brand near Turckheim, whose warm, south-facing site lies on weathered biotite granite; according to the retailer, additional batches come from Wineck-Schlossberg and a vineyard below Brand. The dry wine fermented slowly and vigorously; the official analysis gives 1,5 g/l residual sugar. In the glass, it shows citrus fruit, herbs and crystalline minerality, with linear, taut acidity, a lean to medium body and a dry, austere finish. 2023 was dry, and ripening progressed unusually slowly.
