The wine's soundboard.

Tall bars, big wine. Low bars, easy wine.

The story

Behind the bottle

The Dîme was the tithe, the share of the harvest farmers once owed the church. The Metz family cellar in Blienschwiller is the old tithe cellar, and this reserve is named after it.

Pinot Gris the way Alsace does it best, from Céline Metz's organic vines around the village.

No tithe required. Just a good dinner and someone to share it with.

Where it comes from

Alsace map

The place

Alsace

Sheltered in the rain-shadow of the Vosges, Alsace is dry, sunny and planted to a mosaic of thirteen soil types. Its wines are named by grape — Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Muscat — and run from bone-dry to nobly sweet. One of France's densest concentrations of organic and biodynamic estates. ~15,500 ha.
