Wine Advocate
Review Date: 02/2025The 2022 La Colline Rouge is an orange/bronze-colored white based on a field blend composed of Pinot Gris, Muscat and Riesling. Vinified on the mash for nine months in an amphora, the wine opens with a clear, delicate, fresh and elegant, still yeasty bouquet with limestone notes intermingled with fruit aromas of red pears, berries, oranges and tropical fruits. Very elegant, intense and complex on the palate, this is a tight, rich, long and complex, bone-dry orange wine that was bottled in September 2023 without the addition of sulfur dioxide. 13% stated alcohol. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024.(SR)

This concentrated and tannic skin-fermented dry white has stacks of cooked quince and dried pear character plus an intense salty minerality. Long driving finish with expertly-crafted tannins. Striking pink-tinged straw color. A field blend of traditional varieties, grown in the Rotenberg site. From organically grown grapes with Ecocert certification. Drink or hold.

The 2022 La Colline Rouge is grown on pure Jurassic limestone, facing south in the south of Bergheim, ripening early. It is a field blend of Riesling and Pinot Gris, partly skin-fermented and aged in amphora for a year. A lovely scent of dried orange peel comes with a touch of white pepper, signaling the maceration. The palate is bone dry and textured, playing with this tender veil of phenolics, revealing pure, tart plum fruit. This is an ultra-gastronomic wine. Made without any addition of sulfur dioxide.
