Domaine Klur, Gentil de Katz, Alsace, France, 2021

Producer Profile

Certified organic and following biodynamic practices, this small estate of just 7ha is nestled on steep slopes in the heart of Alsace.

While founder Clement Klur is still very much involved at every stage of the process, he has now joined forces with neighbour Leon Heitzmann and their joint efforts are reflected in the increasing quality of the wines. The vineyards are tranquil places, full of fruit trees dotted amongst the vines that attract and offer shelter to local wildlife – a symbiotic relationship that helps to maintain the health and balance of the land. The steepness of the vineyards means the harvest is carried out by hand, enabling the pickers to choose only the healthiest fruit and ensuring that the resulting wine is always of the highest quality.

Viticulture

All three grape varieties are planted in sandy and limestone soils in the valley below Katzenthal.

Winemaking

Alcoholic fermentation in cask with natural yeasts.

Tasting Note

A fine bouquet of roses and lychee, excellent balance, minerality and body with a pleasant fruity mango note and lengthy finish.

Food Matching

This wine works really well with exotic Asian cuisine.
