Domaine Rieflé-Landmann - Lieu-dit Steinstück Riesling 2017
92/100
Vinous
"An appealing nose with notes of fresh flowers and lime. The attack is clean and fresh, then becomes richer and denser, with lively acidity really enhancing the wine. The palate reveals stone fruits and mineral flavors on a long, lively, and juicy finish. The limestone sandstone soils exacerbate a lively but harmonious acidity, giving the wine a very dry feel. Steinstück is an exceptional site: it is an extension of one of Alsace's most remarkable Grands Crus, Zinnkoepflé, producing wines that are slightly more robust than the Grand Cru."

Rated estate (2020 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
The Rieflés—Jean-Claude and his sons Thomas and Paul—significantly expanded their vineyard when they took over Seppi Landmann's plots. Their vines now stretch from Pfaffenheim to Soultzmatt, at the bottom of the Noble Valley. The vineyards are meticulously tended, with careful consideration given to soil conservation, and this is evident when tasting the wines from recent vintages. Especially since Jean-Claude Rieflé has returned from his experiments with natural wines, which intrigued us greatly a few years ago. Their terroir wines express a gastronomic salinity.

About the estate:
At Rieflé, it's a family affair: the first winemaker in the family appeared in 1830. Today, Thomas takes care of the vines, Paul handles marketing, and Jean-Claude, the father, makes the wine. But it's their daily dialogue that drives the estate forward. The 2011 vintage, marked by the acquisition of the famous Seppi Landmann estate, coincided with the start of a winemaking process that sought greater purity: more body and texture, but without the sugars, and a slightly longer aging period on fine lees. New packaging also promises greater clarity in the range on offer. Finally, it is worth noting the entry-level range by type of wine, which may be blends: L'Éclat, a dry wine; L'Aplomb, round and full-bodied; L'Arabesque, aromatic; and L'Étoffe, a red.
