Château Pauqué Montee des Seigneurs 2011

If you like noble sweet wine, then this is a must taste! The overripe Auxerrois is picked in small quantities. A unique sweet/sour balance combined with a light aging in oak barrels. Abi Duhr continues to amaze with his white wines from Luxembourg.
  • About the vineyard

    Starting out on his family's wine estate, Domaine Mme Aly Duhr & fils, he has since become one of the pioneers of Luxembourg viticulture with his own "Château Pauqué. He is considered one of the forerunners in making terroir wines, where many other winemakers want to put the grape first and foremost. Abi Duhr, however, believes that a next step needed to be taken, toward wines with a clear terroir expression and with more depth and complexity. From that idea, in 1988 he created the "Clos du Paradis," a wine in which the vineyard was paramount rather than the grape. It was the culmination of a development of several years, with many innovations in winemaking, such as the use of oak (1982) and the application of lactic apple fermentation (1987). Revolutionary innovations for Luxembourg at the time. Château Pauqué, after a recent purchase of a hectare of beautiful vineyards in the village of Schengen, has a total of 4.5 hectares of vineyards. Almost all the vines are planted on steep slopes along the Mosel, essential for the best quality. The vineyards are planted with pinot blanc, elbling, auxerrois, riesling, pinot gris and chardonnay. The vineyards can be found in the lieux-dits Mertert Herrenberg, Grevenmacher Fels and Paradäis, Wormeldange Nussbaum, Ehnen Bromelt, Stadtbredimus Dieffert and -Fels and Schengen Fels, the only vineyard in the Luxembourg part of the Moselle on red sandstone. In his work, Abi Duhr has been strongly influenced by the French, and especially the Burgundian way of winemaking.
