Hengst Alsace Grand Cru 2003
This 2003 white wine is produced by Gustave Burger under the Appellation Alsace Grand Cru Contrôlée. It is made exclusively from Riesling grapes harvested from the Hengst vineyard. The name of the vineyard, Hengst, translates to "stallion," reflecting the distinct terroir of this specific site in France.
Located between the Vosges mountains and the Rhine river, the Alsace region has historically shifted between French and German rule, an influence that shapes its wine culture. It is the only region in France that traditionally labels its wines by grape variety, benefiting from a sunny and dry climate. The Alsace Grand Cru designation specifically covers selected vineyards along the east-facing slopes of the Vosges. These wines are highly focused on their origin, where the soil and the single vineyard play a central role in the final product.
Riesling is a classic white grape variety frequently cultivated in regions such as Germany, Alsace, Austria, and Washington. Within the Alsace Grand Cru classification, it is one of the primary permitted varieties, alongside Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Muscat, traditionally used to create concentrated wines that highlight the characteristics of their specific vineyard.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Alsace
Alsace lies between the Vosges and the Rhine and has shifted between French and German rule throughout history, shaping both its culture and its wine. It is France's only region that traditionally labels wine by grape variety. The dry, aromatic white wines are made from Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris and Muscat. The sunny, dry climate produces intense, mineral wines with great longevity.
