The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Respected figures in the Alsace wine scene, Sophie and Julien Schaal embody a new generation of talent, rising to the top of the most prestigious rankings.

In addition to their joint ventures, Sophie Schaal creates her own wines—clean, precise cuvées that are strikingly vibrant on the palate. With experience honed in Burgundy, she brings a clear, focused style to her winemaking, always aiming to showcase the fresh aromas and flavors of the grapes themselves.

Her commitment to detail shines through in a small, confident portfolio of organic wines, each one highlighting the authentic character of its grape variety and origin.
Wine With its lovely smoky nuances, floral notes, and a touch of flinty minerality, the 2024 Alsace Riesling White showcases everything that makes this grape so distinguished. Its pure, focused structure brings vibrant energy and refreshing lift to each sip. This is an ideal Riesling for learning the style—straightforward, precise, and thoroughly enjoyable. Decant it or pour into large glasses if you plan to enjoy it right away, and pair it with smoked or grilled fish, or a classic flammekueche (Alsatian flatbread). Scored 92/100 by the Selection Committee.
Vinification Hand harvested and pressed in whole grapes. Natural fermentation lasting up to 3 months followed by several months of aging in vats.
