DOMAINE JOSEPH SCHARSCH
The wine origins of the Scharsch family date back to 1755, 8 generations to date. Today, the estate covers some 12 hectares, which are run in organic viticulture (since 2009) without any fertilizers, weed killers or chemical treatment products. Situated in the heart of the vineyards of the famous Couronne d'Or, its 35 plots are spread over a wide variety of soils and exposures, including the Grand Cru Altenberg de Wolxheim. Now at the head of the family estate, Nicolas Scharsch was elected Winemaker of the Year by the Guide Hachette des Vins 2019. A fine consecration for this enthusiast of "green" viticulture, which consists of producing less... but better! In addition to Sylvan'Air 2018, a lovely, slender and airy natural wine (without added sulphur and filtering), Nicolas Scharsch introduces you to some very fine vintages, notably the Pinot Gris Cuvée Noé 2017 (rated 90/100 Gilbert & Gaillard 2020), the Riesling Grand Cru Altenberg de Wolxheim Vendanges Tardives 2015 (Coup de Coeur** Guide Hachette des Vins 2020), or "Les Petits Grains - Pinot Noir" 2018 (fruity, slightly spicy and woody). So many fine wines to savour during a richly commented tasting!
