Domaine Marc Tempe Pinot Noir AmZelle – 2020

/0 Comments/in ,

This is a remarkably deep, perfumed Pinot Noir with layer upon layer of dark cherry, floral and spice flavours, smooth tannins and perfect freshness. It was aged on its lees for 3.5 years in old Burgundy barrels before bottling. From the warm and sunny 2020 vintage, this is without doubt the best Pinot I’ve tasted from Alsace to date – a positive result of climate change which bodes well for Alsatian Pinot Noir in the future!

Marc Tempé is the most unassuming, down to earth chap but his wines are out of this world! They are wines of amazing aromatic complexity and minerality which beautifully express their grape and terroir. Marc is surely one of the most talented winemakers in Alsace, so it is a huge shame that he has decided to sell his winery this year because his children do not want to move into the business.

As Tamlyn Currin MW so eloquently wrote in Jancisrobinson.com in February 2024:

“The Tempés make spellbindingly beautiful biodynamic wines, but (devastatingly) they are packing up – their kids don’t want to take over the business and it’s getting to the point where the intense physical labour of their work is taking its toll. Seek out and snap up their extraordinary wines before they are no longer made!”

This dry Riesling was aged for 3 years on its lees in large old oak casks to give wonderful depth of flavour and long length. It has excellent acidity from the cool, fresh 2021 vintage combined with delicious peach, lime and citrus fruit aromas. Should develop very nicely over several years in bottle.

Domaine Marc Tempe Pinot Blanc Priegel Grand Cru – 2020

/0 Comments/in , ,

This exceptional Pinot Blanc comes from a very old vineyard planted in the early 196os on gravel soils. It was fermented and then matured in used Burgundy barrels for 3.5 years on its lees, which has given it wonderful depth and intensity of flavour.

Dry, with fresh acidity and beguiling aromas of white flowers, stone fruits and honeysuckle. This is one of the most impressive Pinot Blancs I have tasted from anywhere, absolutely delicious!

Domaine Marc Tempe Gewurztraminer Mambourg Grand Cru – 2020

/0 Comments/in , , , ,

“Marc and Anne Marie Tempé told us, ‘This is our favourite vineyard. The vines are more than 60 years old and some are nearly 100 years old.’ Clay limestone with iron oxide. The iron oxide gives bitterness. South facing. Hot, but soil stays cool. RS 26.3 g/l
This has a wonderful laurel and poached pear and cardamom aromas. And like a few of the other Tempé wines, it has a distinctively aromatic ‘sweet green’ gauziness and a liquorice undertow, both of which intensify the freshness but also seem to bring herbal, spicy currents of energy. Fennel. Tarragon. Matcha. Very unusual and very elegant, especially for an Alsace Gewurz. At the heart, it’s golden and tropical; mangoes honey and cream. And then it floats in the finish, uncommonly delicate, like silver-tip tea.” 18/20pts jancisrobinson.com

From 50-70 year old vines planted on clay and limestone soils in the Grafenreben “lieu-dit”, a single vineyard and one of the best Riesling terroirs around Zellenberg.

A dry and intense Riesling with distinct, flinty minerality and a complex array of apricot and white peach fruit flavours. This has real structure, great balance and a slightly salty aftertaste which stays in the mouth for several minutes.

Enjoy with grilled fish, crayfish or lobster gratin. Or if you’re feeling adventurous, try with parsleyed frog’s legs!

Only 125 cases were produced.

Domaine Marc Tempe Pinot Blanc Am Zelle – 2020

/0 Comments/in , ,

Sourced from several parcels of low-yielding Pinot Blanc vines on clay soils around the village of Zellenberg. Certified biodynamic.

This has a gently fruity and floral nose. On the palate it is beautifully pure and fresh with fine, mineral acidity and real energy. It has a lovely mix of exotic, slightly pineapple and melon fruit flavours with floral notes. There is a hint of sweetness to the wine (it has 13.8g/l of residual sugar) which just adds to its deliciousness and drinkability! 12.5% alcohol.

Enjoy on its own as an aperitif or with gently simmered white meats, fresh grilled fish or mixed salads.

Around 400 cases were produced. Drink now – 2030
