Riesling
Riesling is the most widely planted and elegant grape of Alsace. It covers one fifth of the vineyards. Even though it has a proven presence since the XVth Centaury in the Rhéane Valley its exact origins remain unknown. The different compositions of the terroirs are strongly reflected in the grape; each soil composition gives rise to a different complex aromatic range. The king of Alsatian wines it reveals deliciously fruity, floral and mineral aromas.
It can be dry, planted in Grand Cru AOP, Vendage Tardive type or come from one of the Sélection de Grains Nobles. Riesling develops very well when the grapes are harvested when over ripe.

Riesling Grand Cru Pfingstberg 2005
Read moreAfter admiring its brilliant golden yellow, take a moment to smell its lemony, slightly minty nose, which gradually gives way to aromas of orange and spices.
Its mouth starts gently on citrus aromas, the sugar is slightly noticeable but very quickly the typical acidity of Pfingstberg takes over with its mineral aromas and a very present salinity which make this wine so special and so rare.
Pfingstberg is traditionally enjoyed after at least 10 years of ageing and this one, even with its 19 g of residual sugars, is no exception. -
Riesling Grand Cru Pfingstberg 2014
Read moreThis wine has a beautiful deep yellow colour with a mineral and woody nose with a touch of citrus fruits and white flowers.
In the mouth, the attack is lively and frank with a strong lemony side that predominates, then appears a mineral and salty side, almost tannic, characteristic of young Pfingstberg.
It should be noted that the Pfingstbergs, like the Enchenbergs, are very lemony in their youth but make a tight turn towards minerality after 6 to 10 years of ageing. As a result, the ageing time will depend on how you enjoy the wine. Decanting in the first few years is strongly recommended. -
Riesling Grand Cru Rangen 2003
Read moreIt took almost 15 years for this wine to finally open!
On the nose we find a hint of melissa and mint with a touch of citron.
In the mouth, if a citrus side takes precedence over the attack, the salinity and minerality return very quickly to take over with a very present rock side. The length on the palate is exceptional, this wine is now over 15 years old but there is still incredible potential for maturation. -
