Domaine Maurice Schoech, AOC Alsace Grand Cru Kaefferkopf, Ammerschwihr. 1.5 ha at 300 metres altitude, southeast-facing, clay and granite soils. 100% Riesling.

Hand-harvested in boxes. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 20–22 °C for 2 months. Aged up to 6 months on lees.

Kaefferkopf Grand Cru 2020 de Domaine Maurice Schoech es un blanco elaborado exclusivamente con uva Riesling. Se trata de una producción de la denominación Alsacia Grand Cru Kaefferkopf, ubicada en el pueblo de Ammerschwihr, Francia.

La viña ocupa una parcela de 1,5 hectáreas situada a 300 metros de altitud con orientación suroriental. El suelo de la zona combina arcilla y granito. La vendimia se realiza manualmente en cajas para preservar la integridad de la uva. En bodega, la fermentación se lleva a cabo en depósitos de acero inoxidable a temperaturas controladas entre 20 y 22 grados Celsius durante un periodo de dos meses. Tras la fermentación, el vino realiza una crianza de hasta seis meses sobre lías antes de su embotellado.

El 2020 de este viñedo ha recibido una valoración de 95 puntos por el crítico James Suckling. Su perfil se define por la expresión de una variedad de Riesling en un entorno de Grand Cru de Alsacia, donde la combinación de suelos minerales y una gestión de lías cuida la textura del vino. Es un ejemplar que combina la frescura característica de la uva con la complejidad aportada por su crianza sobre lías.

James Suckling: 95

This superb Alsace Grand Cru dry riesling impresses with finesse and elegance, the power very underplayed, the texture on the palate so silky, the pear and mirabelle aromas so delicate. Very long and precise finish with so much mineral detail. Excellent aging potential! From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Learn more about Domaine Maurice Schoech

The Schoechs have been in the vineyards of Ammerschwihr since 1650, but the domaine as it exists today is recent: it was set up in 1971 on the edge of the village. That is more than three centuries of growing grapes before bottling under their own name. The house keeps Maurice's name and is run by his sons, Jean-Léon and Sébastien.

The vineyard is spread across several grand crus of the area —Kaefferkopf, Schlossberg, Furstentum and Mambourg— and they also hold a small parcel in the Rangen, the volcanic grand cru of Thann. That spread gives an uncommon mix of soils: limestone-marl predominates, but there is granite, sandstone and the volcanic rock of the Rangen, with vines between ten and fifty years old.

They farmed organically long before certifying; the Ecocert seal came in 2014, with some biodynamic practices. In the cellar, spontaneous fermentations —except for the Côtes d'Ammerschwihr and the Pinot Auxerrois— and everything in stainless steel.
