Domaine Schieferkopf - Riesling Lieu-dit Fels 2011

Bettane & Desseauve
"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, it exhibits clarity and integrity. It is highly likely that this wine will need a little time after bottling to be enjoyed at its best. A solid return on investment through at least 2022.” (Wine Advocate 2014 – Robert Parker)

About the wine:
Rich on the palate, powerful and concentrated, well-structured, 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—he 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.
