Marcel Deiss Schoenenbourg Alsace Grand Cru 2018

Der Marcel Deiss Schoenenbourg Grand Cru d'Alsace ist ein außergewöhnlicher Wein aus der gleichnamigen Weinbergslage im Städtchen Riquewihr im Elsass. Die Weine dieser Lage sind unter Kennern weltweit bekannt. Die Lage hat eine sehr spezielle Topographie, ist nach Süden ausgerichtet, liegt an einem Taleingang mit steilem Hang und seine Geologie besteht aus Keupermergel, einer groben Mischung aus kalkhaltigem und gipshaltigem Mergel, der von Schichten aus Vogesensandstein bedeckt ist. Die Kombination aus einem leichten, luftigen, bröckeligen Oberboden auf einem fruchtbaren Substrat auf Tonbasis mit guten Wasserspeichereigenschaften erklärt die Tatsache, dass die Persönlichkeit der Schoenenbourg-Weine mehr von ihrem Heimatboden als von ihrer Sorte geprägt wird. Aufgrund der Nähe zur Vogesenverwerfung ist das Mikroklima von Schoenenbourg ziemlich kalt und spät, geeignet für eine langsame, schwierige Reifung der Trauben und die häufige Entwicklung von Edelfäule. Der Wein ist eine Mischung aus 13 verschiedenen elsässischen Rebsorten, die gemeinsam im Weinberg gepflanzt wurden. Es handelt sich hierbei also um eine sogenannte Feldmischung.Im Glas zeigt sich der Marcel Deiss Schoenenbourg in einem strahlenden Goldgelb mit funkelnden Reflexen. In der Nase dominiert ein Hauch von Pfeffer, ergänzt um leichte rauchige Aromen, die an einen Tokayer erinnern. Am Gaumen präsentiert sich dieser Schoenenbourg Grand Cru Weißwein mit einer dezenten Säure und einer üppigen, vollmundigen Struktur. Durch die lange Reifung der Trauben hat der Wein ein hohes Potenzial an Restzucker, was zu einem halbtrockenen bis milden Geschmack führt. Nach Jahren der Reifung entwickelt sich eine schöne mineralische Note. Das Weingut Marcel Deiss schafft es beeindruckende Reichhaltigkeit, Konzentration und mineralischen Ausdruck, mit einer Reinheit, die Respekt einflößt, in den Wein zu integrieren. Das zeigt sich auch im Abgang, der elegant und lang mit einer feinen Würze nachhaltig in Erinnerung bleibt.Der Marcel Deiss Schoenenbourg Grand Cru begleitet edle Speisen, wie Hummer, Laguste oder Kavair besonders gut. Durch seine lange Lagerfähigkeit von bis zu 40 Jahren ist dieser edle Wein auch als besonderes Präsent hervorragend geeignet oder man trinkt ihn lieber selbst.
