The Marc Kreydenweiss Pinot Boir Blanc is a blend of all the domaine’s grape varieties: Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, Sylvaner, Riesling, Pinot Gris, and skin-macerated Gewurztraminer.
This organic, dry wine represents the diversity of Alsace. A new release, it is easy to drink and unpretentious, fruity and mineral. In French, “Boire” means “to drink”. The wordplay emphasizes the fact that it is a wine to drink in good company.
Marc Kreydenweiss is heir to a family of viticulturists who have lived in Alsace for 3 centuries, and has owned and managed the Domaine since 1971. In 1984, he made the decision to exclusively produce extremely high-quality wine based on the expression of the terroir. As a result, the wines have preserved the delicacy on which their reputation was established but now contain increased concentration, complexity, and a taste that lingers longer on the palate. In 1989, these same requirements led Marc to introduce biodynamic cultivation.
Kreydenweiss is a firm believer in biodynamic principals, and has applied these to every aspect of the vineyard and wine making process. In his opinion, biodynamics is the living exchange between the biology of the soil and the entire root system of vine that tangibly expresses the “terroir” of the grapes. Biodynamics uses a certain number of vegetable, animal, and mineral preparations for different purposes and at specific times within the annual evolution of the organisms being treated.
