A single-vineyard Auxerrois from the Keimberg lieu-dit west of the village of Cleebourg, benefiting from a southwest exposure and sandy-silty-clay soil. Very well balanced, combining fruity character with pleasant acidity, with aromas of white-fleshed fruit such as pear and apple and a floral touch that makes it fresh and thirst-quenching. Annual production is limited to around 8,000-12,000 bottles.
Auxerrois rarely gets a spotlight of its own, but Keimberg's southwest-facing site gives it real definition — this is Alsace's most underrated everyday white.
