2024 Domaine Marcel Deiss, "Berckem" Alsace - 750ML

Domaine Marcel Deiss is based in Bergheim, Alsace, and is widely respected for biodynamic farming, complantation, and wines that emphasize place over single-varietal identity. “Berckem” is the estate’s village-level expression from Bergheim, grown on mixed limestone and marl soils, producing a white wine of generosity, aromatic depth, and vibrant mineral lift. The estate describes Berckem as tender, solar, ample, and vibrant, with aging potential of up to 10 years.

Blend: 13 Alsatian grape varieties, led by Riesling at approximately 50%, with the remaining 50% composed of other traditional Alsace varieties.

Tasting Notes: Expressive aromas of ripe citrus, yellow apple, apricot, tropical fruit, white flowers, honeyed spice, and crushed stone. The palate is broad and textured, with ripe orchard fruit, citrus oil, gentle spice, and a savory mineral thread that brings freshness and balance to the wine’s natural richness.

Structure: Ample, aromatic, and textural, with vibrant acidity, limestone-driven minerality, and a rounded, persistent finish.

Drink Window: 2026–2034.

Decanting: Serve chilled, ideally around 50°F. Open 20–30 minutes before service or decant briefly to allow the aromatic complexity and texture to unfold, especially in its youth.

Polished, expressive, and gastronomic, the 2024 Berckem is a distinctive Alsace white for buyers seeking both richness and precision. It is especially well suited to fish in sauce, white meats, blue cheese, pan-seared foie gras, and refined vegetable-driven cuisine.
