TERROIR
The Vignoble du Rêveur is a grape varieties complantation located in the heart of the Rhine plaine. The soil consists of a thick layer of recent alluvium dating from the Würmien, one of the last ice ages that the Earth experienced, between -130,000 and -10,000 years.
It covers a substrate whose different geological layers were mainly formed at the beginning of the Oligocene (-33 to -28 million years ago), when significant tectonic distensions caused the Rhine rift collapse and a marine invasion at the origin of the potassium deposits located in the south of Colmar.
The Pliocene (-6 to -2 million years ago) saw the region marked by a new disruption caused by the increased height of the rift edges which will this time allow the Rhine to penetrate there while favoring important fluvial deposits.
The Würmian glaciations will cover these important Oligocene and Pliocene sedimentary layers with coarse debris, and tectonic movements will accentuate the Rhine rift subsidence with a sedimentary layers stacking.
WINEGROWING & WINEMAKING
RIEN NE BOUGE is an atypical wine whose name is taken from the popular saying 'White on red nothing moves, Red on white everything screws up' and which seems to recommend the consumption order of wines: first the whites, then the reds.
In this cuvée, Matthieu DEISS has given free rein to his imagination and concocted a wine composed of white grape juice that he macerated on red grape marc. Of course, such a mixture imposes to classify RIEN NE BOUGE as a Vin de France's wine.
As to whether it is a white or a red wine, well, I would be tempted to say 'neither', since it is a mixture of white and red grapes, but as it is red-colored, I would classify it as a red wine.
No vintage was given to this wine, but it is entirely made from the 2022 harvest.
The vines have been grown in accordance with the biodynamics principles from the beginning. The Vignoble du Rêveur plots never received any chemical treatment, and will not experience any.
The grapes are harvested manually and vinified separately.
The Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris grapes are pressed immediately after harvest. The juice that flows out is collected in a cement tank.
Then Matthieu DEISS adds the marc from the pressed Pinot Noirs grapes, which juice is used to make the red wines of the Marcel DEISS estate. The fermentation starts naturally under the action of indigenous yeasts, followed by the malolactic fermentation. For the 2022 harvest, the maceration of the white juices on the Pinot Noir marcs lasted approximately 2 to 3 weeks.
At the end of the maceration period, the must composed of red marc and white juices is pressed and then aged in stainless steel tanks for 18 months during which the juices are racked many times in order to clarify it.
Once the maturation phase is finished, the juices are bottled without fining or filtration. No sulphites were added during all the winemaking process.
SPECIFIC INFORMATION
RIEN NE BOUGE is a wine made without any addition of sulphites and bottled without filtration or fining. It may therefore show a slight cloudiness in the glass, and it should not be exposed to heat but kept in a cool cellar.
Important: I recommend that you leave the 2022 vintage to rest in the cellar for at least three weeks / 1 month after delivery before tasting it.
