“A sparkling Riesling you won’t want to wait to try!”
Mineral in character, the nose of this 2018 Kronenbourg Riesling offers notes of honey and candied citrus. Intense on the palate, it is sleek and smooth, with a hint of saltiness on the finish. This wine pairs beautifully with a salmon aumônière, for example...

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
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.
