FIELD NOTE 01
Geography and soils
For the southern side from Remich to Schengen, remember its location along the Moselle River. Government documents list clay-rich marl in Remich canton and contrast this with Grevenmacher. However, do not directly translate typical soils into a strictly two-color map along administrative boundaries.
FIELD NOTE 02
Relationship with wine
When reading about this region, confirm both varieties like Auxerrois and the Pinot family, and the types of wine produced. The same white variety may be used for both still wines and Crémant. Do not attribute the bubbles or lees-derived flavors of Crémant solely to vineyard soil; distinguish features contributed by raw material conditions and by winemaking processes.
FIELD NOTE 03
To individual vineyard
Remich is also a starting point to research the wine study and regulatory body IVV. If you are confused by label information, go beyond tourist descriptions and check the specifications documents to distinguish geographic explanations from legal requirements. Progress from key points on the map to vineyards and producers, and finally consolidate what you learn in a process chart for a single bottle.
Cannot be determined. Read in combination: slope, variety, yield, and the harvest and winemaking.
