Tasting Notes

"Pierres Sèches means "dry stones" alluding to the stone wall terraces surrounding the vines in the terroir of Rouffach. Organic, 35 year-old vines and from well-draining, limestone and marl soils, helped by those dry stone walls. Actually quite unctuous pinot gris in the classic Alsace style in which some residual sugar is urged on by acidity with purposed equanimity. Begins in flinty smoulder, works through some terpenes, stone fruit and emerges into a world of candied lemon and pith. You can feel the barrel in that mild bitterness and in the creamy texture. A fulfilling wines with classicism coded in its DNA. Will transform into crème brûlée floating in a mineral salts bath. Drink 2021-2028."

92 Points - Michael Godel, WineAlign, July 2020

"Pure and bold notes of freshly cut russet-pear peel fill the nose on this wine. The palate adds flowing pear juiciness and concentration. Bold fruitiness is held in check by pithy, not quite zesty freshness. This wine has drive and energy, with a just off-dry finish."

The Producer

Rene Mure

When Michel Muré established himself in Rouffach and planted his vineyard in the 17th century, he likely had little foresight of the remarkable journey he initiated for his descendants. In 1935, Alfred Muré expanded the property by acquiring the 12-hectare (25-acre) Clos Saint Landelin, fully owned. Today, Véronique and Thomas, the great-grandchildren of Alfred and the 12th generation, passionately explore the treasures of this biodynamic monopoly and the splendid terroirs surrounding it. The estate encompasses 28 hectares, with 12 dedicated to the Clos Saint Landelin.

The Muré family is committed to allowing their wines to authentically reflect the terroir in which they are cultivated, preserving their heritage, and honoring the traditional expertise passed down through generations. The vines are densely planted, the vineyards are worked through manual labor, avoiding synthetic chemicals, adopting biodynamic methods, fermenting exclusively with indigenous yeasts, and employing minimal intervention in the cellar. These practices, year after year, contribute to ensuring that Muré wines consistently grace the finest tables in France and around the world.
