Cuvée Charles is a dry Alsace Riesling from 25 year old vines on sandy soil with gravels. The grapes are hand-harvested and hand-sorted, pressed in a pneumatic press, and fermented slowly with indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled tanks at 20°C. The wine then matures on its lees for several months and is bottled in August. The nose shows white flowers and pink grapefruit, and the palate is fresh, crisp and balanced with a long finish. The family intends it to be the most representative Riesling of the vintage.
Domaine Charles Baur is based in Eguisheim, three miles from Colmar, and has been in the family since the early 18th century. Charles Baur began bottling in 1950, his son Armand took over in 1980, and Armand's son Arnaud joined in 2009. They farm 17 hectares, including plots on the Grand Cru Brand, Eichberg and Pfersigberg, and use only estate fruit. The vineyards have been certified organic since the 2014 vintage.
