“Both bold and fresh, this wine exhibits exceptional power and tension. (James Suckling)”
“The 2023 Riesling Schoenenbourg Grand Cru Révélation, made from grapes harvested from eight plots within this vineyard, has a golden color. It was aged half in large oak casks and half in stainless steel tanks, then blended before bottling. Delicate, fragrant notes of dried lemon balm and lemongrass intertwine with a hint of flint, offering a beautifully lively, fresh, and appetizing nose. The palate also reflects this aromatic liveliness, exuding a fresh and delicate smoothness. It displays a certain lightness and ease, but also a lovely depth.” (Vinous 2025)

About the estate:
This estate, founded in 2017, consists of the legacy of vineyards brought together by the couple Amélie Buecher—who comes from a long line of winemakers—and Charles Sparr, the son of a family of wine merchants. Certified organic in 2017 and biodynamic in 2019, their vineyard includes four grands crus and offers a consistent range of authentic, unpretentious wines. The quality is improving rapidly, the Pinot Noirs shine, and the estate earned its first star this year.

About the wine:
The 2023 Riesling Schoenenbourg Grand Cru Révélation, made from grapes harvested from eight plots within this vineyard, has a golden color. It was aged half in large oak casks and half in stainless steel tanks, then blended before bottling. Delicate, fragrant notes of dried lemon balm and lemongrass intertwine with a hint of flint, offering a wonderfully lively, fresh, and appetizing nose. The palate also reflects this aromatic liveliness, revealing a fresh and delicate sweetness. It exhibits a certain lightness and ease, yet also possesses beautiful depth. (Very dry)
