✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the lieu-dit Bux in the commune of Bergholtz, this Pinot Gris is a profound expression of Alsace's complex geological tapestry. The Bux parcel is characterized by its unique soil composition of clay, limestone, and calcareous sandstone, which imparts a striking mineral tension and structural elegance to the wine. Cultivated under strict biodynamic principles by the Dirler-Cadé family, the vines are tended with horse-drawn plows to preserve soil vitality. Historically, the 'Bux' name is linked to the ancient boxwood shrubs that once dotted these sunny slopes. Unlike the heavy, overly sweet styles of Pinot Gris often found in the region, Dirler-Cadé crafts this cuvée with a focus on dry, gastronomic precision, balancing the natural richness and stone-fruit opulence of the grape with a vibrant, saline acidity.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Domaine Dirler-Cadé blev grundlagt i 1871 i den sydalsaciske landsby Bergholtz og forener to historiske vinfamilier, som fandt sammen i 2000 ved ægteskabet mellem Jean Dirler og Ludivine Cadé. Vingården er en sand pioner inden for biodynamisk vinavl i Alsace og omlagde allerede sine marker til biodynamik i 1998 for at fremme den naturlige biodiversitet og bevare jordbundens vitalitet. Familiens fremragende parceller tæller historiske Grand Cru-marker som Kessler, Kitterlé, Saering og Spiegel samt markante lieux-dits som Belzbrunnen og Schimberg. Dirler-Cadé nyder stor international anerkendelse for sine knastørre, terroirprægede Riesling-vine, ranke Pinot Gris, aromatiske Gewurztraminer og fint strukturerede Crémant d'Alsace-mousserende vine.
