"An impressive Riesling from an underrated terroir (Wine Advocate)"
"This bouquet has great depth and precision. It reveals inviting and subtle notes of pastries, flint, and yellow fruits. The wine is precise, delicate, and elegant. The salty attack gives way to a Riesling that is broad, but also incisive, prominent, and sharp. This creates a link between roundness and liveliness, between tension and fruit, while a subtle austerity consolidates the expression and persistence of the finish. A very great wine with incredible energy on the palate. It is ready to defy the coming decades and delight many palates!" (Yves Beck 2024)

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Wine rating (2025 guide) 94+/100 (Outstanding wine)
About wine:
Clos Rebberg 2020 is deep, pure, and intense on the nose, well-concentrated and partially herbaceous, showing ripe, dense, and elegant fruit with deep mineral nuances from the blue slate soils. On the palate, it is an elegant, refined, and intense Riesling, dense and round, well-concentrated and full-bodied with fine tannins, delicate bitterness, and a certain richness that is balanced by its serious mineral structure. It is more generous than the 2021 and, although still young, almost ready to serve. Very long and aromatic, this is an impressive Riesling from a little-known terroir.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 95/100
Rated estate (2023 guide) 3 stars (These represent the excellence of French vineyards. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical moment.)
About wine:
Admirable fruit brightness in the Clos Rebberg, a wine that is still introverted but stunning in its purity and intensity, vibrant on the finish and unusually long.
About the estate:
Antoine, Marc Kreydenweiss's son, has been at the helm of this estate in Andlau since 2007, one of the pioneers of biodynamics in Alsace. The variety of terroirs on the estate and their subtle interpretation has always been a strong point here, reinforced by the changes implemented by Antoine (slower pressing and prolonged aging on lees). The risks taken in vinifying a number of cuvées without sulfur (or with minimal levels) are paying off and do not result in the slightest defect. A small range of wines made from purchased organic grapes has been created under the name Lune à Boire. The Pinot Noir and macerated wines (not rated) are of the highest quality. Standards have returned to their highest level with wines of rare vitality, and continue to improve, with ambitious four-year aging for the 2017 Riesling grands crus. These exciting wines, with their rare vitality, have earned the estate its third star this year.

About wine:
This Riesling is aged for two years in oak barrels. Its bouquet is deeply complex and precise, revealing inviting and subtle notes of pastries, flint, and yellow fruits. The wine is precise, delicate, and elegant. The salty attack gives way to a Riesling that is broad, yet incisive, prominent, and sharp. This creates a link between roundness and liveliness, between tension and fruit, while a subtle austerity consolidates the expression and persistence of the finish. A very great wine with incredible energy on the palate. It is ready to defy the coming decades and delight many palates! 2026-2050
