Hidden Gems in Bergholtz

Domaine Loberger ★ 4.2

Alsace Grand Cru SpiegelRiesling, Pinot Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Pinot GrisFounded 1947Loberger familyBergholtz

A Bergholtz family estate in the southern Haut-Rhin, working the Spiegel Grand Cru beneath Guebwiller's four Grand Cru slopes.

Tip: Bergholtz is a quiet alternative base south of Guebwiller; start with Loberger's Spiegel Grand Cru, then add the village Gewurztraminer.

Domaine Dirler-Cade ★ 4.6

Alsace Grand Cru Kessler, Saering, Spiegel and KitterleRiesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot GrisFounded 1871Jean Dirler and Ludivine Dirler-CadeDemeter CertifiedECOCERTBergholtz

Demeter biodynamic Bergholtz estate working all four Guebwiller Grands Crus, one of the rare houses to vertically taste the climats side by side.

Tip: A Dirler-Cade vertical of Kessler, Saering, Spiegel and Kitterle in one sitting is one of the clearest Grand Cru-versus-Grand Cru contrasts available in Alsace.

Domaine Dirler-Cade ★ 4.6

Demeter CertifiedECOCERTBergholtz

Jean and Ludivine Dirler-Cade work all four Guebwiller Grands Crus, Kessler, Saering, Spiegel and Kitterle, Demeter-certified biodynamic since 2007. The house is one of the rare ways to taste a single biodynamic producer across all four climats.

Tip: A Dirler-Cade four-Grand-Cru flight is the cleanest biodynamic side-by-side of Guebwiller's climats; production is small so book ahead.
