About this wine
Description & facts
Riesling is the Pinot Noir of white wines! It is our most demanding variety as it is also the latest ripening. Dry and
elegant, it expresses itself best on our steepest slopes with the most complex minerality.

- Tasting note
- A dashing, youthful pale green robe with dominant hints of green, light green, lime tree foliage, sparkling and crystalline with a nice shimmer and elegant thread A deliciously aromatic expression with the nice fruitiness and youthful freshness of cool moss, white peach, lemongrass, lemon-verbena, pistachio. On the palate this is a nice reflection hard, thirst-quenching, flavoursome, energetic and well crystalline and full-flavoured finale and that perfect touch of mineralit This is a wine which is superb now thanks to the purity of its expression but if laid down for five years it will improve through its minerality.

- Vinification
- The grapes are taken in small tubs to the presses, which are filled by gravity, without any pumping or other mechanical intervention. After pressing, the must is decanted for a few hours, then fermented in temperature controlled vats (at 18°C to 24°C). The wine is racked just once, before natural clarification during the course of the winter. The following spring, the wine is lightly filtered just before bottling, and the bottles are then aged in our cellars until released for sale. The whole taint.
- Location Vineyard
- Made exclusively from hand harvested grapes from predominantly clay and limestone vineyards, in a dozen of themost favored localities in and around Riquewihr. A cool and long growing season give this unique dry wine greatfinesse and unequalled intensity.
