The locality "Hahnenberg" terroir straddles the town and Kintzheim Châtenois. It offers East - South-East exposure with a low to medium slope, at an altitude of 210 to 530 m.

Its main feature is an acid brown stony soil most often on granite surface. There are also a few streaks of sandstone and a small area of limestone outcrop in Kintzheim. The typical characteristics of this soil are an extraordinary heterogeneity that allows a local-match variety of different grape varieties.

Grand Cru Gloeckelberg "located on the bank of the town of Rodern, annexing several parcels in the commune of Saint-Hippolyte, extending to a small hill between the two villages, this locality is South - South-east facing at an altitude of 250 to 360 m.
It rests on a granite substrate. Acid brown and course sandy soil may be more or less clay in contact with shale and sandstones of the Carboniferous and the pink sandstone which crown the hill. Of great homogeneity, the soil has a steep slope at the top, but gradually softens lower down.

Often the youth of this wine shows a little beading of bubbles in the glass due to a small proportion of dissolved carbon dioxide and even from the fermentation.
