Frequently asked questions

What does “Vieilles Vignes” mean?

It means “old vines”. For this cuvée, we select our Riesling plots that are over 50 years old, on very stony silty-sandy soils. These old vines give more concentrated grapes and a more complex wine.

Is it dry?

It is a semi-dry Riesling: 11 g/l residual sugar and 12.5% ABV, balanced by 6.2 g/l acidity that keeps it fresh. Lemon, pepper and sage on the nose, and mineral notes appear after 2 or 3 years of ageing. For a sweet Riesling, discover our Riesling Vendanges Tardives.

What food goes with it?

White meats and roasts, langoustines and lobster, fish in sauce, sushi, vol-au-vent, sweetbreads, or cheeses such as Chaource and Cantal.

How should I serve and keep it?

Serve it at 8–10 °C. It keeps for 3 to 5 years.
