🏞️ Spiritual Depth in Riesling Form – Ultreia 2021 – Domaine du Petit Bouchon

A wine that, like its maker, undertakes a pilgrimage – from Jura to Alsace, from clay and sand to barrel and glass. This Ultreia 2021 is a richly textured natural Riesling with layered structure, bright tension, and a mineral glow. No sharp acidity, but round depth and serenity. A rare balance between generosity and finesse.

🍋 Ripe white fruit, salty minerality & gentle precision

Ultreia opens with aromas of yellow apple, lime zest and wet stone. On the palate, you immediately notice the broad, silky texture – round and generous, without the nervous edge often found in 2021 whites. The acidity is seamlessly integrated, offering lift without sharpness. The mineral core pulses beneath the fruit, giving focus and energy. A full year on the fine lees in large 600L barrels adds depth, harmony and a subtle Burgundian touch.

🌱 Terroir & Winemaking

📍 Origin: Alsace (near Mittelbergheim), France
🍇 Grape variety: 100% Riesling
🧱 Soil: Sandy clay – freshness and precision

- Aged 12 months on fine lees

🥦 Vegetable tarts, fennel, asparagus or cauliflower in beurre blanc
🍲 Delicate Asian dishes with coconut or lime

🧑‍🌾 Vincent Larcelet: a pilgrim with passion and precision

Vincent Larcelet grew up in the Jura, but found his path in Alsace – quite literally, via the Camino de Santiago, where he met his wife Sophie. He trained under respected names like Patrice Béguet and Ganevat, and in 2020 began crafting wines under his own name near Mittelbergheim. Together with Sophie, he farms 3.5 hectares naturally and manually, with zero additives and total respect for nature. His wines are honest, soulful and grounded in place.
