Tasting notes
The 2018 Riesling Grand Cru ‘Pfingstberg’ from Domaine Valentin Zusslin is a dry, powerful expression of Alsace Riesling, crafted from biodynamically farmed vineyards. The nose is smoky and flinty, layered with aromas of ripe stone fruits, citrus zest, and a subtle herbal edge.
On the palate, the wine is expansive and richly textured, yet anchored by a saline mineral core that adds both structure and vibrancy. The finish is long, focused, and energetic, carrying through the wine's signature tension and purity.
A Riesling of remarkable concentration and elegance, with impressive aging potential and a clear expression of its Grand Cru terroir.

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.
