Michel Chapoutier is passionate about terroir and grape varieties. Alsace has always had a special place in his heart because of the particularity of certain varieties and their mineral subtlety. This vineyard came about by an association of friends and their consensus in exigent working techniques, even on very harsh slopes. The vines take their nutritional value from a terroir of blueschist with a touch of sandstone, bringing originality to the wine. Across the Schieferkopf, Michel Chapoutier offers you a translation of these terroirs, reflecting the appellations, his signature.
