Importer Notes:

Eichberg is a grand cru of clay and limestone (similar to the terroir in Burgundy), below the hilltop town of Husseren-les-Châteaux, where the historic Kuentz-Bas estate has produced fine wine since 1795. Eichberg is also known for powerful wines, but in a different way than Brand. Here the vines have more soil to dig their roots into, and the wines are lavish, plump, and comfortable, as if the vines have never suffered a day in their lives. You’ll want to pair this with a roast chicken or duck, or grilled sausages, when you are in the mood to forego a red with the main course.
