Altenberg Grand Cru wines are remarkable for the perfect balance between their subtle, distinguished aroma and their powerful, virile body. They are gastronomic wines par excellence.
Notes
Intense nose with aromas of white peaches, sandalwood, vanilla, sweet spices.
Rich and dense palate, warm and sweet which gives it its charm! Well-structured and concentrated, it reveals its generosity and greediness with a long finish and pleasant notes of marzipan.
