We have been leasing the Vineyards of the Convent of Ribeauvillé for several years now. In 2009, we have produced our first Grand Cru Geisberg. 2011 is the second vintage to be released.
Pierre Trimbach and his team have been working the Grand Cru Geisberg behind the domaine for years, this one being assembled with GC Osterberg into the famous Frédéric Émile. Their knowledge of this terroir has enabled them to produce a great wine on these 2,66 ha from the Convent.
The Geisberg is a jewel of Alsace. Located in between two other Grands Crus on Ribeauvillé’s fault line, the limestone and sandstone subsoil, the old vines, the exposure to the sun and the small steep terrasses make it a very unique and complex terroir of only 8,5 ha total.
The wine is intense and has a great energy. A gastronomie wine able to age between 10 to 30 years in the top vintages.
It is the first wine from a Grand Cru named after its terroir, following the wish of the Nuns of Ribeauvillé’s Convent and the new local GC Legislation from 2011 onwards, which is now well designated by a very precise chart managing the yields (55hl/ha max), the minimum potential alcohol at picking being 11,5°, chaptalization being forbidden, etc…
A very limited, almost confidential production…
