El Domaine Maurice Schoech Schlossberg Grand Cru 2018 es un vino blanco elaborado con 100% Pinot Gris en la denominación Alsace Grand Cru Schlossberg (Alsacia, Francia), de una bodega con sede en Ammerschwihr. El viñedo está en terrazas con orientación sur.

La elaboración combina técnicas tradicionales con un control preciso de la temperatura. La uva es seleccionada mediante vendimia manual y se somete a un prensado suave. La fermentación alcohólica se lleva a cabo en depósitos de acero inoxidable durante dos meses, manteniendo una temperatura entre 20 y 22 ºC. Posteriormente, el vino realiza una crianza de tres a seis meses sobre lías, lo que busca aportar cuerpo y complejidad a la estructura final.

En cuanto a su valoración, James Suckling otorgó una puntuación de 94 puntos a esta añada.

Se trata de un Grand Cru de Alsacia que refleja las condiciones del suelo y el clima de su viñedo, con una gestión en bodega orientada a la finura y el carácter de la uva Pinot Gris, caracterizada por su crianza sobre lías y su fermentación controlada.

James Suckling: 94

What an enticing nose of orange blossom this off-dry pinot gris has! Then comes the palate, where restrained richness is married to the radically cooling influence of massive crushed-rock minerality, pulling this to a tight focus at the very long, dry finish. 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.
