Terroir of very old notoriety (mentioned in the archives from 1328). Kaefferkopf is one of the most famous Grands Crus in Alsace. The clay-limestone-sandstone soil gives the wine lots of body, power and a particular structure. The nose presents a lot of purity, minerality and noble vegetal notes (gentian ...) The mouth is at the same time fleshy, tense and mineral (with a slight bitterness imparted by the sandstone). A great wine to keep.
Félix is increasingly interested in organic farming and uses no synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides to treat the vines. Cover crops are planted in every other row in the vineyards. Some vineyards are plowed, but certain parcels can be plowed only once a year because any more would erode the soils. He treats the grapes with the same individualized care, harvesting by hand and gently loading them into the press. The use of native yeasts during fermentation makes the process longer and slower, creating a more lush texture.
