Appellation

Alsace, France

Tasting Notes

Pure and precise on the nose, dense and clear, with some minty flavors. On the palate this is a pure, cool, fresh and bone-dry Riesling with a silky texture and a lot of salt and tension. This is pure and finessed, combining the freshness and piquancy of sandstone with the silkiness and fruit of a limestone terroir. The finish is fresh and aromatic, with lots of citrus flavors and a touch of Champagne because of the citrus flavors, chalkiness and the wild, small red berries. This Riesling has a gorgeous finesse and definition.
