Riesling Grand Cru Kitterlé 2008
Golden yellow to the eye, this wine will surprise you with a nose of rare power, tactfully blending a very lemony side with a touch of petrol aromas. Its massive, voluminous mouth, supported by a fine acidity, will reveal light pineapple notes that embellish a very pronounced flint side, while the finish will start again on a very refined citrus fruit side.
Dry wine on the palate (minerality) with a nice length.
A powerful wine, a powerful dish: game, dishes in spicy sauce, even grilled dishes will not be too much of a challenge for this wine.
Minimum: 3-5 years old
Optimal: 6-12 years old
Maximum: 16 years old

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. -
Pinot Gris Enchenberg 2014
Read moreThis wine has a brilliant golden colour.
The nose is impressively open and leads between apple, pear, candied quince and a woody side. It really gives the impression that this wine will be sweet, but….
On the palate, the attack is frank and lively, the wine then opens to bring us fruity flavours of apple and apricot just ripe, the minerality is well present behind the fruit and still highlights the very dry side of this mouth.
To sum up, the whole thing seems quite disconcerting at first sight but after the first surprise, we discover with curiosity the multiple facets of this wine which despite its strongly atypical aspect remains incredibly pleasant to taste. -
Muscat Cuvée Février 2016
Read moreTest of ice wine, harvested in February at -10°C, this wine is a little different from the traditional Muscat d’Alsace.
The colour is pale yellow, the nose is very present, woody on the first notes, it quickly migrates to notes of peach and white flowers.
In the mouth, sweetness is very present (although 44g is not extremely sweet) the aromas are powerful and delicate with warm notes of stone fruits and grapes. The acidity is well present and keeps the side fresh.
Note: For the moment (2019) a decanter is strongly recommended to benefit from all the power and finesse of this wine. -
Pinot Gris Sélection de Grains Nobles 1994 (37,5cl)
Read moreA rare and prestigious wine with an extreme concentration and fantastic aromatic richness, this wine has extraordinary reminiscences of cooked peaches, candied lemon zest, fruit cake, caramelized butter, caramel, plum cake and various spices; on the palate, cherries, raspberries, apricots, orange peel confit bust. Graceful, well structured, this nicely proportioned wine seems to be at the peak of its maturity yet it has the balance and substance necessary for a good ageing in the cellar.
