Marc Kreydenweiss - Riesling Au Dessus de la Loi 2022
95/100
Yves Beck
“Eric Dupond-Moretti’s Nightmare”
“A superbly intense bouquet that is precise, linear, and restrained yet impactful. The attack is briny and full-bodied. Contrasting elements follow one another—a mouth-watering quality and a compact texture—resulting in both concentration and freshness. The finish is incisive, mouth-watering, and lingering. A truly great wine.” (Yves Beck 2024)

Rated estate (2023 guide) 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience)
About the estate:
Antoine, the son of Marc Kreydenweiss, has been at the helm of this estate in Andlau since 2007; it is among the pioneers of biodynamics in Alsace. The diversity of the estate’s terroirs and their subtle interpretation have always been a strong point here, further enhanced by the changes Antoine has implemented (slower pressing and extended aging on the lees). The risks taken in vinifying many cuvées without sulfur (or with minimal levels) have paid off and result in no flaws whatsoever. A small range of wines made from purchased organic grapes has been launched under the label Lune à Boire. The Pinot Noir and macerated wines (not rated) are of the highest caliber. The standards have returned to the highest level with wines of rare vitality, and continue to deepen, with ambitious four-year aging for the 2017 Grand Cru Rieslings. These exciting wines, of rare vitality, have earned the estate its third star this year.

About the wine:
Vines growing on sandstone scree. A superbly intense bouquet that is very precise and linear, without excess but with great depth. The attack is salty and full-bodied. Contrasting elements follow one another, with a mouth-watering quality and a compact texture, offering both concentration and freshness. The finish is incisive, mouth-watering, and lingering. A truly great wine. 2026–2047
