2010 Marcel Deiss, Gewurztraminer 750ml

Marcel Deiss is a 52-acre estate in Bergheim, in the Alsace. Jean-Michel Deiss is the current winemaker and he descends from a long line of winemakers. The Deiss family has been making wine in Bergheim since the 18th century and Jean-Michels’ son Mathieu is now working with him. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that Jean-Michel “has been growing some of the finest wines in Alsace for more than a quarter of a century…” Parker notes that Jean-Michel started replanting in the 1990s with the goal of making single vineyard wines. The estate makes well-reviewed Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, and a portfolio of red and other white wines.
