"From reddish Oligocene limestone soils and aged in long-toasted Burgundian barrels predominantly from the Vosges mountains, the 2021 Grand Cru Mambourg opens with a deep, very intense and rich, Meursault-styled bouquet of concentrated lemon, vanilla, iodine and smoky aromas. Full-bodied, intense and very rich but also tensioned on the palate, this has generous, perfectly ripe and concentrated fruit that is uplifted by mineral substance that leads this gorgeous Alsatian Burgundy to a long, powerful yet elegant and highly complex finish. The wine has a very intense and dense fruit core but shows a superb mineral complexity as well. 14% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024. Decanting is highly recommended."

"The 2022 Grand Cru Mambourg displays an intense, dark yellow color and opens with a super intense and concentrated yet elegant and mineral bouquet of ripe yellow fruits and dark citrus fruits, crushed salts, limestone rocks and a hint of mocha beans and iodine notes. Full-bodied, round and very rich yet also very elegant and refined on the palate, this is a very generous, powerful and concentrated yet also stimulating saline and finely tannic Mambourg with a long, warm and super intense, saline and crunchy finish. In this warm vintage, the Mambourg comes across like a Hermitage and should be exciting to follow through the vintage river for several years. 14% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in November 2024."

"The 2022 Mambourg Grand Cru is a field blend of Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir and Auxerrois planted on this warm site. A touch of smoked hay sets the tone on the nose. The palate is far more fluid and slender than the nose would suggest. It is smooth, with a waxy, smoky, pleasant bitterness, always wrapped in lovely smokiness but with so much cool direction. (Bone-dry)"
