Description

This tiny cuvee is very rarely found as it comes from 0.2 ha of vines planted in the late 1970s at the top of the prime Eichberg part of the original Sommerberg Grand cru. The wine shows crystalline minerality and purity with real breadth of fruit, staining the palate, all the while remaining sharp and focused with outstanding freshness. Sommerberg, particularly the famed E (Eichberg) is simply one of the very best Grand Crus in Alsace. Thank you to Alexandre for making this available to us; he usually retains it for his loyal cellar-door customers. 13.5 % Alc/Vol; 6.5 g/L TA; 3.3 g/L RS.

Review
The 2022 Riesling Sommerberg Grand cru is grown on pure granite at the top of the Sommerberg, in a little amphitheater in the lieu-dit Sommerberg itself. The wines is surprisingly pale. A gorgeous conifer note is subtle on the nose but easily reaches the sinuses. It is so delicious. The palate is gorgeously strait-laced, absolutely stony, naked, unbuffered, hair-raising and exciting. This is so stony and precise, crystalline, in fact. Acidity is milder than ususal, but the stoniness and the arrow-like nature are exactly what I expect. (Bone dry).
