Tasting notes
A distinctive field blend of Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Sylvaner from the biodynamically farmed Pfingstberg terroir, ‘Kammerlas’ reveals a striking aromatic complexity and stony minerality. The nose is floral and expressive, with notes of white blossom, citrus peel, and spiced orchard fruit.
On the palate, this dry wine offers vibrant acidity, remarkable freshness, and textural depth, finishing with a long, saline edge. It’s a beautifully structured and age-worthy white that can be enjoyed now for its clarity and energy, or cellared to reveal deeper nuances over time.
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.
