The Bollenberg is a special place for us at LICHTLÉ Wines. Located 6 km south of Gueberschwihr, it is a dry and sunny place with its own unique microclimate. This creates a challenging environment for the vines, which struggle every year to produce grapes.
Tasting notes
- Visual
- Pale yellow with golden hues.
- Smell
- Acacia flowers, dried hay, ripe lemons, pink grapefruit.
- Taste
- Balanced freshness and minerality.
Serving
To appreciate this wine at its best, we recommend serving it at 12°C. We recommend drinking it within 10 years, but it has great potential to age into an elegant old wine. Store it somewhere dark, with a stable temperature.
Goes well with
Sushi
The fresh fish pairs well with the minerality of the Bollenberg.
Smoked salmon
The smokiness of the fish is lifted by the minerality of this Riesling.
Choucroute
A hearty Alsace speciality and a LICHTLÉ Wines tradition: every year, when we harvest the Bollenberg, we have choucroute!
