All grapes are harvested by hand and no fining. After pressing, cold settling before fermentation begins and fermentation is is all natural. Vinified in foudre.
"Afifty/fifty blend of Muscat Ottonel and Muscat d’Alsace, this is a truly breathtaking creation. The aromas are pure, soft, and ethereal, with an understated class that comes from the Ottonel. The palate is layered with white fruits, slightly smoky hints, and a heavy dose of granite minerality. Much like Boxler’s Pinot Blanc Réserve from Brand, it shows its terroir in striking fashion. Dry Muscat doesn’t get any better than this (and, as I once discovered with a 1959, it is one of Alsace’s greatest agers)." - Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant
