One of the Alsace (Haut-Rhin) sites classified as Grand Cru within the Alsace Grand Cru appellation. The vineyards cover 19 hectares of vineyards at an altitude of 240 to 320 metres above sea level on granite soil in the commune of Blienschwiller. They are planted with Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris. René Kientz, Hubert Metz and François Meyer are well-known producers.
The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
