Bettane & Desseauve
“The 2010 Buehl Riesling offers juicy aromas of ripe peach and apricot, tinged with the invigorating bitterness of their pits and smoky notes of black tea. Full-bodied and fresh—especially for this vintage—it finishes with a pronounced mineral character that some attribute to the blue slate soils. Aromas of musk and peony on the palate lend a mystical touch to this wine, which should be cellared without hesitation until at least 2020.” (Wine Advocate 2014 – Robert Parker)

Winery rated 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the wine:
A clean, well-balanced palate with good body; the finish is a bit tight at this stage but shows great promise, with notes of pineapple on the 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.

Wine rated (2014 guide) 16/20 (Very good)
About the wine:
The mineral and floral notes on the initial nose give way to hints of white fruit and exotic fruit, with nuances of lemon and candied pineapple and a touch of saltiness. This cuvée, rich and structured around subtle acidity and ripe fruit, is enhanced on the finish by a hint of iodine. This full-bodied Alsace wine will be ideal paired with grilled freshwater fish.
