Domaine Schieferkopf - Riesling Lieu-dit Fels 2011

"The 2011 Riesling Fels features musky and bittersweet aromas reminiscent of iris and narcissus. Apple and citrus notes are balanced by mineral undertones. Just like the Buehl, there is clarity and integrity here. It is highly likely that this wine will need some time after bottling to be appreciated at its best. A solid return on investment through at least 2022.” (Wine Advocate 2014 - Robert Parker)

Winery rated 1 star (A high-quality, recommended wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the wine:
Full-bodied, powerful and concentrated, with a tight, refined finish.
About the estate:
Biodynamic farming always takes a few years to show results, both in terms of root development and soil health, and Michel Chapoutier knows this well, having purchased this estate in 2009 with a few friends who are connoisseurs of fine wines. Located in northern Alsace, on a vein of blue schist, the estate is gradually finding its footing. The single-vineyard Rieslings (Burg, Buehl, and Fels) are beginning to reveal the subtle nuances of their soil.
