Notes et distinction (millésime 2019) :

- 92/100 James Suckling dec 2020 : Un pinot noir volontairement pâle, délicat et frais avec des tonnes de caractère d'écorce d'orange, juste une touche de tanin soutenant le corps moyen. À boire légèrement frais, c'est une expression unique du raisin avec beaucoup de subtilité et une minéralité prononcée à la longue et vive finale

- Wine Advocate Robert Parker report 30th oct 2020 : 92/100 One of my favorite wines in Alsace.

- Guide RVF 2022 : DOMAINE ** cuvée notée 92/100 : Ophrys se montre fringant et joyeux, à la fois tendre et accessible, salivant à souhait et éminemment désaltérant avec ses notes de grenades.

- Magazine 12°5 AUTOMNE - HIVER 2020 : ...à la fois profond, dynamique et gourmand, notes de fruits rouges en tête d'une partition aromatique à la complexité impressionniste.

Quelques mots sur le nom « Ophrys » Dans le vaste monde des orchidées sauvages, nous parlons de genre Ophrys emblématique du Bollenberg. Nous y trouvons notamment des Ophrys abeille, bourdon et mouche. Ces dernières ont la spécificité de pousser le mimétisme des insectes polinisateurs à son maximum. La fleur est capable de produire et de dégager des phéromones sexuelles des femelles pour attirer les males. C’est probablement, ce qui se fait de mieux dans le règne végétal pour attirer les insectes pollinisateurs. Cette cuvée « Ophrys » est un clin d’œil à cette plante unique qui cohabite avec nos vignes du Domaine Valentin Zusslin. Une belle occasion aussi de lancer de beaux sujets de botaniques mais surtout de biodiversité et de respect de notre planète tout en sirotant ce beau jus frais et tonique.

What is an author wine?

These can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.

An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.

This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.

As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
