Marc Kreydenweiss - Riesling Au Dessus de la Loi 2022
95/100
Yves Beck
"Eric Dupond-Moretti's nightmare"
"Superb intensity on the nose, which proves to be very precise, linear, without excess, but with relevance. The attack is salty and full-bodied. Paradoxes follow one another with a mouthwatering side and a compact side, thus concentration and freshness. Incisive, mouthwatering, and persistent finish. A very great wine." (Yves Beck 2024)

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 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:
Vines on sandstone scree. Superb intensity on the nose, which is very precise, linear, without excess, but with relevance. The attack is salty and full-bodied. Paradoxes follow one another with a mouthwatering side and a compact side, offering both concentration and freshness. Incisive, mouthwatering, and persistent finish. A very great wine. 2026-2047
