"A delight for pairing!"

“An already magnificent floral bouquet, followed by a very pronounced finish and a dry, firm palate. A serious wine with beautiful structure. Perfectly suited for pairing with food. An almost thrilling finish.” (Jancis Robinson 2025)

Rated 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Alongside a wine-trading venture in South Africa, Julien Schaal founded his Alsatian business in 2011—a highly original endeavor, as it is exclusively a wine-trading business based on the purchase of grapes from grand cru vineyards. Currently, nine grand cru wines are on the menu, representing just about every type of soil in the region, and the selection consists solely of Riesling—with the exception of a Gewürztraminer from the Osterberg and a blend from the Altenberg de Bergheim. In a blind tasting, his 2017 vintages blew us away. Hats off!

About the wine:

The 2024 Micas Brand Grand Cru Riesling comes from a south-facing plot in the Brand vineyard. A lively note of dried lemon balm adds an ethereal green touch to the citrusy liveliness. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, like a rising sun that illuminates everything. The texture is exceptionally smooth, with an almost luminous character of ripe lemon zest. The overall impression is at once precise, warm, and luminous. It is a magnificently energetic wine, full of light. (Very dry)

Wine rated (2025 guide) 94/100

About the wine:

Well-drained granite soils. Precise and subtle, the bouquet stands out for its depth and intensity. The attack faithfully reflects the aromatic characteristics. The wine exhibits a certain breadth, with a delicious, briny touch. Slightly creamy, the wine is supported by subtle bitter notes that ensure freshness, savory depth, and a lingering finish. 2027–2042
