In this video, Marc Hugel, vineyard manager and technical director at Famille Hugel, shows an example of the complexity and astonishing diversity of Alsace's geological formations. As Marc explained in a previous video, the geology of Alsace "is like a chessboard" - the age and origin of the formations dramatically vary in the shortest distances.
Watch Marc show a single parcel in the Schoenenbourg vineyard, where two completely different soils lie next to each other - whose origin is separated by no less than 60 million years.
