Marc Kreydenweiss - Riesling Au Dessus de la Loi 2022
95/100
Yves Beck
"Eric Dupond-Morreti's Nightmare"
“The bouquet has superb intensity; it is very precise, linear, without excess, yet well-defined. The attack is briny and full-bodied. Contrasting elements follow one another—a mouth-watering quality and a compact texture—combining 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; the estate is among the pioneers of biodynamics in Alsace. The diversity of the estate’s terroirs and their subtle interpretation have always been a strength here, further enhanced by the changes Antoine has implemented (slower pressing and extended aging on lees). The risks taken in vinifying many cuvées without sulfur (or with minimal levels) are paying off and do not result in the slightest flaw. A small line 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 aging periods of four years for the 2017 Grand Cru Rieslings. These exciting wines, with their 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, linear, without excess, yet perfectly balanced. The attack is briny and full-bodied. Contrasting elements follow one after another—a mouth-watering quality and a compact texture—combining concentration and freshness. The finish is incisive, mouth-watering, and lingering. A truly great wine. 2026–2047
