Nestled in the charming village of Bernardvillé, a stone's throw from a Compostelle route, lies a vineyard plot as extraordinary as its history. Here, the vines root in the exclusive embrace of the only strip of blue schist in Alsace—a geological treasure that traces its origins back to the Precambrian era, over 542 million years ago. The vines thrive in shallow soils, a mere 20-30 cm deep, imparting to the wines an exceptional mineral structure. The hillside's steep gradient, with a 30% incline, coupled with its southeast exposure and the caress of a brisk microclimate, contributes to the Fels vineyard's wines. These wines, born from such a unique terroir, embody an elegant, round, and taut character—a testament to nature's artistry and the untold stories within every bottle.
