The elite of Alsace wine-growing, Domaine René Muré wines are devilishly soft and captivating. The estate's careful practice of organic farming kindles this effect. Big and fat but without residual sugar, the wines have an irresistable fleecy character and a unique texture on the palate....almost carnel!
