The estate and the wine |
|
|
Star of the Rhône Valley, Michel Chapoutier holds one of the most impressive line-ups of crus around.
His winemaking skill and deep knowledge of the vineyard give him an unrivalled ability to uncover standout terroirs.
Schieferkopf is a perfect example — a rising name from Alsace (and Germany), which he’s been nurturing organically since 2015. The estate lies on Alsace’s only vein of blue schist, with generous sun exposure and a complex patchwork of soils. |

The 2015 Alsace Riesling Lieu-Dit Buehl White brings together tension, firmness, and length with grace and precision. This is a structured, powerful wine with serious shape. After ten years, it shows off striking complexity, with layers of citrus, ripe fruit, and tropical notes. It’s a food wine through and through, driven by lovely bitterness and a saline finish — made for zander in beurre blanc or a platter of shellfish. |
