Amélie & Charles Sparr - Riesling Altenbourg 2022
95/100
James Suckling
"Already very impressive today, it should continue to improve! (James Suckling)"
"Even the nose of this great dry Riesling from Alsace is dense and exotic, with floral and honey notes. Rich, full-bodied, and powerful, but with a lovely clementine freshness. Fine tannins give this wine a surprisingly silky finish." (James Suckling 2024)

Rated estate (2025 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
This estate, founded in 2017, consists of the vineyards inherited by Amélie Buecher, who comes from a long line of winegrowers, and Charles Sparr, the son of a family of wine merchants. Certified organic in 2017 and then biodynamic in 2019, their vineyard has four grands crus and offers a consistent range of sincere, unpretentious wines. The quality is improving rapidly, the Pinot Noirs are shining, and the estate has earned its first star this year.

About wine:
Even the nose of this great dry Riesling from Alsace is dense and exotic, with floral and honey notes. Rich, full-bodied, and powerful, but with a lovely clementine freshness. The fine tannins give this wine a surprisingly silky finish. This wine is very impressive today, but should improve with bottle aging. Made from biodynamically grown grapes certified by Demeter. Drink now or cellar.
