Domaine Bott-Geyl - Alsace Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg 2015
16/20
RVF
The Schlossberg Riesling has a subtle bouquet at first, then reveals empyreumatic notes of smoke and toast, along with a hint of minerality and citrus. On the palate, it is refined, precise, and taut, with a lovely salinity on the finish. A truly beautiful expression of this Grand Cru!

It shows more richness in this vintage.
About the estate:
The perfectionist Jean-Christophe Bott is one of Alsace’s leading winemakers. He is dedicated to meticulous work both in the cellar and in the vineyard, which is cultivated using biodynamic methods. While it comprised just 4 hectares when it was founded in 1953, the estate now owns 15 hectares, spread across seven municipalities. The wines here are full-bodied and smooth, with their richness well-balanced and without the slightest hint of heaviness—particularly in the Pinot Gris wines, which are definitely worth rediscovering. Each cuvée possesses both power and a long finish—two qualities that contribute to their fullness. To top it all off, the estate offers older vintages for sale and has recently begun renting out vacation cottages.
