– GENERAL INFORMATION

The Spiegel stretches half-way up the two benches of Guebwiller and Bergholtz. The reputation of the Grand Cru Spiegel dates back to the 1950s when the winegrowers set up charters of quality and precise characteristics, which now makes original wines with fine aromas.

Vinification
For the making of our Grands Crus we use perfectly ripe and healthy grapes from carefully cultivated and selected vineyards. The yields are low and the vineyards are generally planted with old vines. For these wines we focus on terroir or vineyard expression with all elements that influence the aromas, the composition and typical character of each Grand Cru.
Vintage 2017
Even if the yields are the lowest in 30 years, all the climatic conditions have contributed to an impressive quality for the 2017 vintage. Good levels of acidity, beautiful balance, and beautiful maturity, Alsace wines of 2017 will be comparable to the vintages of the greatest years.
