Late Harvest and Selection de Grains Nobles are exceptional wines with a grand elegance. In our winery, we make a specialty of these strong, soft and sweet wines.

The sub-continental climate of our vineyard with its very low rainfall and sunshine in autumn, is highly favourable to the ripening of the grapes on the vine and in the development of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea). It allows the harvesting of late grapes such as Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Riesling, at the moment they offer all their opulence.

The aromas of the variety and strength of these wines are accentuated by the phenomenon of concentration of sugars due to dehydration of the grapes and the development of noble rot.

The late harvest and selection of noble grapes, which must have a particularly high sugar content at harvest (the minimum required is, along with straw wines of the Jura, the highest of any French AOC) are wines of an exceptional class .

From a gastronomic point of view, these wines are wines for aperitifs par excellence, the most agreeable companion to foie gras with a hint of jam and decorated with a little salt. It is also possible to associate them with strong cheeses.
