Grand Cru Alsace usually means one grape on the label. Florian and Mathilde Beck-Hartweg go back to an older idea and blend several grapes from the same granite slopes. Their reasoning comes from history: old records showed that mixed plantings, fermented together from a single site, were once the norm in Alsace. The Frankstein is an unusual Grand Cru in its own right. The whole mountain around the Becks' village is the same granite, so its four best south-facing slopes were classified together as one cru. The soil there is thin, sandy and stony. The stones hold warmth and ripen the grapes early, and the dry ground forces the roots deep, which the Becks credit for the salty, crystalline length of their Frankstein wines. The grapes are picked by hand, and the wine goes into bottle unfiltered. Pull the cork an hour ahead, serve it around 10°C, and decant if it has a lot of natural spritz.

Flatiron's Take

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Choucroute garnie, roast chicken with morels and cream, pork loin with grainy mustard, trout amandine, tarte flambée, aged Comté.

Tasting Profile

Expect a dry, layered Alsace white: citrus and stone fruit from the Riesling, the pear and gentle spice of Pinot Gris, and extra texture from the Pinot Noir, which is pressed as a white. Typically the granite comes through as a salty, crystalline minerality with a hint of mint, and fresh acidity carries it to a long, savoury finish.
