Description

One of Alsace's super-star domaines" Clive Coates - The wines and domaines of France. ‘One of the most talented Winemakers in Alsace … he has Riesling and Gewürztraminer growing in prime sites and it is what he manages to do with these that ranks his wines among the very best in Alsace. Although his generic Riesling has great class and finesse, his Grand Cru ‘Geisberg’ and Grand Cru ‘Osterberg’ are very much finer. The ‘Geisberg’ is the riper and more opulent, with a wisp of smokiness to the fruit, the ‘Osterberg’ is more classic and flinty, requiring longer in bottle.’ Tom Stevenson, The Wines of Alsace.

Review
(2019 vintage) (2023) Grown on limestone and sandstone, there's just a touch of residual sugar in a wine that shows hints of beeswax and honey, and ripe apple fruit. In the mouth it has a lightly slippery texture and very pure and expressive riesling flavours; lemony and intense, with a bracing, salt-licked finish.
Tasting Profile
nose

Intense bouquet with a rich and varied aromatic palette, marked by an astonishing mineral depth and by its overall refinement.

palate

Texture both ample and precise with a unique dimension in the mouth. The powerful and deep mineral intensity is coupled with a ripe and precise acidity. Volume in the mouth of great tension, with an intense brilliance and crystalline purity. The overall structure is all in length, elegance and refinement.
