Eveil Blanc 2022
Domaine Einhart
Still, Muschelkalk (see below), once again magnified by Domaine Einhart! And exclusively at Culinaries to boot. This Éveil cuvée offers an extraordinary taste experience, on par with the complex and nuanced wines to which Théo Einhart has accustomed us, marked by the minerality of the purest oolitic limestone of Alsace.
Éveil is a social, sociable, and additive-free dry white wine that will shine on any occasion and in any season, although we find it very suited to summer temperatures and Indian summer. The color is golden white, brilliant, and the first nose perceives delicate aromas of white fruits as well as a light floral touch. The freshness is evident on the palate, well supported by the minerality of the Muschelkalk terroir, a loamy-clay-limestone soil characteristic of this Alsatian terroir. A subtle salinity, a horizontal limestone, typical of the Einhart style. The finesse and vivacity rest on a full and tense note in the background.
All these qualities are perfectly balanced, giving this wine an eminently convivial character. Riesling (30%) and Auxerrois (70%) come together to form this very well-built wine, made for sharing and friendship. Still young and leaving nothing to be unknown of its complexity and robustness, Éveil promises to acquire very becoming notes of maturity over the months. The vines, around twenty-five years old, grow at the top of cool, windy, south-facing hillsides. They are harvested by hand, then directly pressed, with the berries soaked in the juice for twenty-four hours, which encourages the start of fermentation using indigenous yeasts. These practices preserve the authenticity of the terroir. The wine is aged for eight months in Pinot Noir barrels on fine lees, highlighting its freshness and drinkability. Serve this beautiful vintage between 8°C and 10°C.
You can drink it now or keep it for a few years to benefit from its potential for evolution, which is always interesting with wines from limestone terroirs. Also note that this wine, of unfailing solidity, bears the Einhart trademark: from experience, a bottle was able to last ten days in the refrigerator without a cork and has not budged a bit. Don't look too hard for perfect pairings, this all-terrain wine will harmonize with everything you like. And especially with those you love.
Learn more about Domaine Einhart
Located in the northern part of the Alsatian vineyard, horizontally above Strasbourg, Domaine Einhart is a ten-hectare family estate whose vines are located on the hillsides that rise between the Alsace plain and the Vosges mountains. The soil is clay-limestone and rich in fossils (muschelkalk, i.e. shell limestone and oolitic limestone, and lettenkohle or dolomitic limestone). Since 1990, Nicolas Einhart has been at the helm, now assisted by his son Théo. True to his commitments to the TIFLO association, of which he is co-founder, Nicolas devotes his winemaking work to protecting the land and biodiversity, making wine without inputs, refusing harmful phytosanitary products and maintaining ecological refuge areas. His estate has been certified organic since 2011. Like Jean-Marc Dreyer, he is resolutely moving towards skin maceration and produces white maceration wines (orange wines) in addition to a Pinot Noir red. Entirely manual harvesting, destemming of the bunches, light punching down and delicate pressing are characteristic of the estate, as well as the separate vinification of each terroir, aging on lees and the absence of filtration before bottling. The wines are made from pure grapes, lively, powerful, invigorating, and reflect the minerality of the beautiful terroirs of the Vosges foothills.
Riesling Blanc 2021
Domaine Einhart
The color of this Riesling from Domaine Einhart is a beautiful orange-yellow. The initial nose is delicate, slightly musky, with notes of grapefruit and dandelion flower. The second nose is fresher and more mineral, with aromas of thyme, aromatic herbs, and flint. The palate begins with vivacity and beautiful verticality; the minerality is typical of limestone. Dried herbs return before a lingering finish with remarkable salinity. Riesling, the lord of Eastern grape varieties, finds here an expression worthy of its nobility. Light skin maceration is successful for this grape variety, and this one is no exception. The twenty-five-year-old vines grow on the muschelkalk (oolitic limestone) soils of the Kreutzweg area. The grapes are harvested by hand and then directly pressed. Maceration, using indigenous yeasts, takes between four and eight days. Aging on fine lees is ten months in century-old beer barrels (an Alsatian specialty) and precedes bottling without filtration. From the vineyard to the cellar, this wine was made without any additives or sulfites. Decanting is recommended so that it can spread its wings and express its mineral notes.

Eveil Blanc 2023
A dry and vibrant white, combining freshness and conviviality
The Domaine Einhart, a rising star in natural wine in Alsace, offers us here an exclusive cuvée full of character: Éveil 2023. This dry and balanced white, labeled organic, is a tribute to the limestone terroirs and emblematic Alsatian grape varieties. Composed of 35% Riesling, 35% Auxerrois, and 30% Gewurztraminer, this wine expresses all the richness of its loamy, clayey, and limestone soil, grown on plots located on cool, windswept hillsides.
A Tasting Experience in Elegance
With a luminous pale gold color, Éveil 2023 opens with a delicate nose blending subtle aromas of bergamot and white flowers. On the palate, the freshness is pronounced, with a lovely mineral tension and a slight salinity. Its ample texture and slightly spicy aromatic profile make this a white wine that is both lively and generous, supported by beautiful acidity and a lingering finish.
Authentic winemaking
The grapes, hand-harvested in 20kg crates, undergo meticulous treatment in the cellar. After a short 24-hour maceration to initiate fermentation, they are pressed directly. Fermentation is carried out by indigenous yeasts, guaranteeing a pure expression of the fruit and terroir. It is then aged for 8 months in Pinot Noir barrels, on fine lees, to give the wine its balance and depth.
A convivial and versatile wine
Served between 10 and 12°C, this wine is perfect as an aperitif or with plant-based dishes, such as grilled vegetables or fresh salads. Its aging potential of 5 to 10 years will also allow it to evolve into even more complex notes.
A lively and sociable white wine, perfect for awakening the senses!
L'intrépide White 2021
It's undeniable: L'Intrépide, a full-bodied, long, and delicious wine, truly lives up to its name and is fearless. A 100% Pinot Gris macerated wine exists, and it can soar to great heights when vinified with care. Its color is already astonishing, and the rest is just as impressive. Totally magical, on the palate, the lively and full-bodied attack is supported by a lemony freshness characteristic of great limestone terroirs. The lingering finish is highlighted by tannins melted during maceration. The twenty-five-year-old vines, all located on the estate, are harvested by hand; the grapes are destemmed. Maceration, using indigenous yeasts, lasts four to eight days. Aging for eight months in Alsatian barrels on fine lees precedes bottling without filtration. From the vine to the cellar, this wine was made without any additives. Decanting is recommended so that it can spread its wings and express its powerful and complex notes.

Puls'Art White 2022
Here's Puls'Art from Domaine Einhart, a natural, organic (Ecocert) macerated white wine classified as AOC Alsace. Don't confuse it with a Poulsard because of its name (the Poulsard grape variety is found in the Jura region, a little further south). This magical wine is called Puls’Art simply because it pulses, and skin-macerated Gewurztraminer is a great art—we affirm it.
Vinification
The Gewurztraminers used to produce Puls’Art, aged twenty-five years and sourced entirely on the estate, are harvested by hand and then destemmed. Maceration lasts one week, and fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts. Aging on fine lees is ten months in barrels, followed by unfiltered bottling. From the vine to the cellar, this wine was made without any additives.
Tasting
Puls’Art has a bright orange color. The first nose, very appealing, brings aromas of candied apricot and rose petals. The second nose, very fresh, evokes green cardamom. The attack on the palate is ample, balanced, with a velvety sensation. On the palate, we find the aromas of ripe apricot from the first nose. The finish is powerful and spicy, vibrant, "a limestone lollipop," according to the winemaker's expression. Decanting is recommended so that your Puls'Art spreads its wings and expresses its mineral and charming notes, both earthy and exotic. For pairings, it is all-terrain but also capable of the most delicate associations: do not hesitate to pair it with smoked fish, fine poultry, white meats, game birds, a wild mushroom risotto, and cheeses.

Orange White 2022,
A complex and structured orange wine, an ode to Gewurztraminer
The Orange 2022, produced by Domaine Einhart, is a captivating cuvée that explores the full richness of Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris. This orange wine, obtained through a week of destemmed maceration, fully expresses the aromatic potential and tannic structure of the grape variety. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for a month in stainless steel vats, this wine reveals a perfect balance between power, freshness, and minerality.
A generous and captivating tasting
From the first nose, the Orange 2022 seduces with its complexity. Aromas of dried apricot, fig, and mandarin intertwine with exotic touches of pineapple and passion fruit. On the palate, the attack is full and structured, with a slightly tannic texture that adds depth. The basalt minerality unfolds elegantly, supported by a vibrant freshness. The finish is long and persistent, marked by notes of honey and orange blossom, offering a unique and intense sensory experience.
An exceptional gastronomic wine
L’Orange 2022 is ideal for accompanying bold and refined dishes. It pairs perfectly with game birds, roasted white meats, or root vegetables such as celeriac and cabbage. Its powerful aromas also allow it to enhance mature cheeses or dishes with mild spices. Served between 8 and 10°C after decanting, this wine will reveal all its nuances and richness.
With an aging potential of 5 years, this vintage will be able to evolve in the bottle, gaining even more complexity and finesse.
Muscana White 2022
Muscana is an organic (Ecocert and AB labels) and natural dry white wine from Alsace from Domaine Einhart. Classified as AOC Alsace, this beautifully complex dry white is Domaine Einhart's homage to the Muscat grape variety.
Vinification
Muscana is a 100% Alsace Muscat, hand-harvested when overripe. The vines are approximately twenty-five years old and grow on the splendid oolitic limestone (muschelkalk) terroirs in the Fleckenstein, Westerberg, and Meyen localities. The harvest is destemmed, maceration in vats lasts one week, and fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged in stainless steel vats on fine lees and is not filtered at bottling.
Tasting
Muscana offers a beautiful orange-amber color with superb brightness. The first nose offers rich, slightly smoky aromas typical of overripe Muscat berries. A second, very fine nose brings a hint of citrus fruit that encourages tasting. On the palate, the attack is straightforward and ample, accompanied by a melted acidity expressed through notes of candied quince. The finish is invigorating, with melted tannins linked to the maceration. We recommend decanting Muscana to help it develop its splendid aromas and serving it with choice dishes: fresh or smoked fish, vegetables including asparagus, white meats and foie gras.

Colline des anciens White 2021
The aptly named Colline des Anciens is minerality personified: full of freshness and salinity, it is a dry white from Alsace with an alcohol content of 13.6% and a great aromatic depth. This minerality and aromatic depth reflect the great limestone terroir of the Rosheim hillsides: a clay-rich soil on a substrate of muschelkalk and pink limestone. The plots face south on a 20% slope, and the vines have an average age of thirty years. The blend of three Alsatian grape varieties is carried out as follows: the Riesling (40%) is directly pressed, while the Gewurztraminer (20%) and Pinot Gris (40%) are macerated for forty-eight hours.

La barrique du chat botté Red 2017
Lindenlaub
Bright, savory, fresh, and deep, this wine goes down fast. This Cuvée du Chat is a still red wine made from Alsace Pinot Noir, cultivated and vinified by Christophe Lindenlaub. The grapes are hand-harvested from the Sempel and Thomen plots, facing south on the Stierkopf terroir. These plots contain the oldest Pinot Noir vines on the Lindenlaub estate. The clay-limestone soil on a sandstone substrate refines and accentuates the wine's clarity, giving it a straightforward personality and plenty of character. The grapes spend two weeks in maceration tanks to extract their color, then age in stainless steel tanks. This vintage comes from the Lindenlaub estate via the Parisian-Burgundian wine merchant Le Chat botté & Co, which selects beautiful bottles each year for its “La Barrique du Chat botté” series, illustrated with a collector’s label.

Christophe Lindenlaub succeeds his father Jacques at the head of their twelve-hectare wine estate, cultivated by their family for almost three centuries. Viticulture there dates back two centuries, the activity previously being mixed. The Lindenlaub estate is located in the village of Dorlisheim, near Molsheim and Mutzig, on splendid clay-limestone terroirs on sandstone bedrock. All the classic Alsatian grape varieties are cultivated, and all types of Alsace wines are produced, from still red or white wines to oxidative wines, pet' nat', sweet late harvest wines, crémant, and maceration wines. Christophe's commitment to making wines as close to nature as possible, with complete respect for the terroir, gradually led him to convert the estate—certified organic since 2012—to natural viticulture and vinification. A testament to this goal is the Ensö range, six natural single-varietal cuvées, under the sign of the Chinese ink circle specific to Zen mysticism. This series, Christophe explains, was born from a quest for personal fulfillment and the desire to impart an extra touch of soul to his wines.
Fleckstein White 2021
Do you like Riesling? Do you love Alsace Riesling? You'll succumb to the temptation of Fleckstein, a pure, charming, mineral, and crystalline wine, 100% Riesling, with an alcohol content of 13.5%. All the grapes come from the Einhart estate and are grown on the great limestone terroir of the Rosheim hillsides, in the Fleckstein area, on a ferruginous vein located 1.5 meters deep and a layer of loess that retains a lot of freshness and limestone purity in this wine, whose horizontal acidity is typical of Middle Triassic muschelkalk. The plots, inclined at 10%, are south-east facing and the average age of the vines is forty years. The harvest is worked by direct pressing and fermented with indigenous yeasts. The aging is one year on total lees in Alsatian foudre (barrels of approximately one thousand liters). We recommend decanting this Fleckstein so that it expresses all its vitality.

Puls’Art white 2020
Domaine Einhart
Don't confuse it with a Poulsard because of its name (Poulsard is from the region a little further south). This magical wine is called Puls’Art simply because it pulses, and Gewurztraminer macerated on the skins is a great art, we support it. The color of this splendid white macerated wine is bright orange. The first nose, very inviting, brings aromas of candied apricot and rose petals. The second nose, very fresh, evokes cardamom. The attack on the palate is full-bodied, balanced, with a velvety sensation. We find the apricot aromas of the first nose. The finish is powerful and spicy, vibrant, "a limestone lollipop" in the winemaker's words. The twenty-five-year-old Gewurztraminers are harvested by hand and then destemmed. Maceration, using indigenous yeasts, takes place between four and nine days. Aging on fine lees is ten months in barrels, before bottling without filtration.

Westerberg White 2021
Westerberg is a dry white wine full of character, elegance, and spice, offering the best of the estate's Riesling and Gewurztraminer: 90% Riesling and 10% Gewurztraminer grown on the great limestone terroirs of the Rosheim hillsides: soils of shell limestone with ceratites (fossilized limestone) and lettenkohl (muschelkalk carbonate) plates. A depth of one meter and eighty of soil with a grain size of 70% limestone and a layer of loess at one and a half meters, this is a superb minerality that benefits the wine. One hundred percent of the grapes come from the property. The average age of the vines is forty-five years, on plots facing south on a 30% slope. The grapes are entirely hand-harvested and destemmed. The Riesling is directly pressed, while the Gewurztraminer undergoes a forty-eight-day maceration before pressing. Everything is fermented with indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for one year on fine lees and is bottled without filtration. No sulfites or any other inputs are added to the vineyard or the cellar. We recommend decanting this Westerberg.

Finisterra White 2019,
Jean-Marc Dreyer
Aromatic and floral, full of citrus peel and tropical fruits, Finisterra is a sort of quintessential Alsace wine, a rare and refined vintage of captivating complexity. Lychee, passion fruit, white flowers, ginger, and yellow rose, on an aromatic background of beeswax. This wine has balsamic accents of waxed old wood and yellow fruits (peach), spices, on a delicate mineral framework of tannins reminiscent of Chinese oolong tea. The secret? Jean-Marc Dreyer blended five grape varieties—Riesling, Muscat, Pinot Gris, Auxerrois, and Gewurztraminer—to create this skin-macerated cuvée with structure, oxidative notes, and a deep amber color. It will pair very well with roast poultry, game, and anything related to duck or goose: duck breasts, duck with blood, roast duckling, confit, and foie gras. We also imagine it with well-simmered wild mushrooms. A wine to enjoy after an autumn walk. Biodynamic method, fermentation using indigenous yeasts, unfiltered, unclarified, with no sulfites added in the vineyard or cellar.

"Maceration is a tradition in Alsace!" says Jean-Marc Dreyer, adding that direct pressing in this region is a modern invention, linked to the advent of electricity. In the past, people worked by hand and let the grapes macerate before sending the marc to the press. » Whole-bunch maceration is Jean-Marc Dreyer's signature and represents 85% of the estate's production, the remainder consisting of direct-pressed whites, often aged using controlled oxidation. Jean-Marc succeeds several generations of his family at the Dreyer & Fils estate, established in 1830 between Obernai and Molsheim. Upon taking over the estate, he immediately opted for biodynamics, but he hesitated for a while between several methods: at first, his wines were more oaky, aged in new barrels with stirring. Then came the sweet period: all his wines contained residual sugar. In 2008, he tried vinifying without any sulfur and found his direction: the following winter, upon returning from the pilgrimage to Compostela, he swore never to add sulfur to any wine again. Having made this decision, he asserts his style around skin maceration, quite advanced, chiseled, always surprising on Alsatian grape varieties, of which it brings out the structure without sacrificing the delicacy. Jean-Marc works in single-varietal or blended vintages and also produces Pinot Noir reds of surprising depth.
Gewurztraminer Origin White 2022,
Jean-Marc Dreyer's Gewurztraminer Origin is an organic (AB label), biodynamic, and natural dry white wine from Alsace, made with maceration (orange wine), with no added sulfites. Jean-Marc Dreyer's Origin range consists of single-varietal cuvées based on six Alsatian grape varieties (Sylvaner, Auxerrois, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Riesling and Muscat), macerated on the skins with a touch of controlled oxidation, which gives a multidimensional nature to the Gewurztraminer grape variety, thus proving that it has never had its last word.
Vinification
The organically and biodynamically grown Gewurztraminer is harvested by hand and macerated for seven days in whole bunches. After pressing and fermentation, the wine is aged for ten to eleven months in the Alsatian style, in foudres and demi-muids, without topping up. Biodynamic method, fermentation by indigenous yeasts, unfiltered, unclarified, no sulfites added in the vineyard or in the cellar.
Tasting
Fragrant, powerful, sumptuous, disconcerting, addictive, structured in layers and of a surprising complexity, Gewurztraminer Origin is the gewurztraminer that you no longer expected, with an overpowering aromatic, without the sugar commonly associated with this grape variety. All the sugars have been eaten, what remains is an extraordinary richness of aromas, naked and unvarnished. Notes of mango, lychee, ylang-ylang, the bouquet of flowers and exotic fruits is there, sublimated by a dry and straight frame. This wine screams for foie gras, with or without truffle, but it can be drunk with everything from seafood to land.
