The Zusslin family are settled in the village of Orschwhir in Southern Alsace since 1691 and crafting wines for 13 generations now. Its fair to say they know a thing or two on how to craft the best Riesling in Alsace. Les Chapelles comes from 3 prime plots on the Domaine, Bollenberg, Clos Liebenberg and Grand Cru Pfingstberg. This wine is a true benchmark of the quality that Zusslin can produce. Les Chappelles offers refreshing, energising citrus character whilst also maintaining its elegance and complexity with 10 months on the lees and being aged in traditional large oak foudre. A steel considering its pedigree!
