Tasting notes
Les Chapelles is a stunning cuvée sourced from three prime parcels of the Domaine—Bollenberg, Clos Liebenberg, and Grand Cru Pfingstberg—making it a true benchmark of Zusslin’s craftsmanship.
The wine delivers refreshing, energising citrus notes, balanced by a remarkable elegance and complexity. Aged 10 months on the lees and matured in traditional large oak foudres, it offers texture, depth, and precision.
With its pedigree and finesse, Les Chapelles is a steal—a wine that punches far above its weight while staying true to its Alsatian roots.
More About The Winery
Founded in 1691, Domaine Valentin Zusslin is one of Alsace’s oldest family estates, now run by the 13th generation, Marie and Jean-Paul Zusslin. Located in Orschwihr, in the southern part of the region, the domaine cultivates 16 hectares of vineyards with a steadfast commitment to biodynamic viticulture since 1997.
The estate’s holdings include some of Alsace’s finest terroirs, notably the Bollenberg, Clos Liebenberg, and Pfingstberg Grand Cru. Here, classic Alsatian grapes — Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Sylvaner, and Pinot Noir — thrive on limestone and clay-limestone soils, producing wines of remarkable purity, energy, and terroir expression.
Zusslin’s wines are renowned for their precision, balance, and ageing potential, with whites showing crystalline minerality and aromatic finesse, and their Pinot Noirs earning growing acclaim for Burgundian-like elegance. Every bottle reflects the family’s philosophy of harmony between vineyard, nature, and craftsmanship.
