Domaine Bott-Geyl - Alsace Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg 2015
16/20
RVF
The Schlossberg Riesling has a subtle bouquet at first, followed by smoky, toasty, and mineral notes, with a hint of citrus. On the palate, it is elegant, precise, and taut, with a lovely briny finish. A truly fine example of this Grand Cru!

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 the estate consisted of just 4 hectares when it was founded in 1953, it now spans 15 hectares across seven communes. The wines here are full-bodied and smooth, their richness well-balanced without the slightest heaviness, particularly in the Pinot Gris, which is definitely worth rediscovering. Each cuvée possesses both power and a long finish, two qualities that lead to a sense of fullness. To top it all off, the estate offers older vintages for sale and has recently begun renting out vacation homes.
