"A superb wine to savor at the end of a meal!"

“Bright golden yellow. Alluring aromas of peach nectar, honey, candied pineapple, and sweet spices; spicy notes of botrytis (nail polish, ginger) emerge with aeration. Silky and dense, it offers flavors of ripe apricot, sweet citrus, and honey, pleasantly enhanced by ripe acidity and complemented by a lingering spicy nuance. The finish is long and smooth. This wine is made from a selection of grapes sourced from the same terroirs as the Cuvée des Seigneurs de Ribeaupierre. [...]” (Vinous 2019).

Rated estate (2022 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

The Ribeauvillé winery is slowly evolving to keep pace with the times. After shifting its focus to grand cru wines, Trimbach is in the process of converting to organic farming (certification expected in 2023). This transition will require the involvement of its grape and wine suppliers. Here, Riesling reigns supreme (55% of production). The terroirs are well-suited to this: marl-limestone (Geisberg, Mandelberg, Clos-Saint-Hune in Rosacker) or granite (Schlossberg, Brand). The Frédéric-Émile cuvée blends the Osterberg and Geisberg grands crus. The 2017 and 2019 vintages will go down in history.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

A must-visit winery that stands proudly in the beautiful town of the minstrels, Trimbach delights wine lovers with its legendary Frédéric-Émile and Clos Sainte-Hune vintages. Across the vintages, Pierre Trimbach crafts Riesling with a vertical approach, always in a dry style. His brother Jean oversees global sales. They are now supported by the next generation: Anne and Frédérique (Pierre’s daughters) and Pauline and Julien (Jean’s children). The family produces wine from nearly 60 hectares of estate-owned vineyards and about 100 hectares of purchased grapes. Certain grand cru wines have been designated as such since 2009 and are directly allocated in small quantities by Jean Trimbach to the world’s finest restaurants. The estate undeniably contributes to the recognition of Alsace wines through its internationally iconic vintages, while also producing entry-level wines of consistent quality. The range of Pinot Noirs still has room for improvement.

Silky and dense, it offers flavors of ripe apricot, sweet citrus, and honey, pleasantly enhanced by ripe acidity and complemented by a lingering spicy nuance. The finish is long and smooth. This wine is made from a selection of grapes sourced from the same terroirs as the Cuvée des Seigneurs de Ribeaupierre. Most of the grapes were air-dried in 2017, but there was also a small amount of noble rot, which is particularly evident on the nose (a hint of nail polish and notes of exotic fruits).

Rated winery (2023 guide) Recommended

About the wine:

There are very spicy aromas here, along with an abundance of peaches and pears. On the palate, it is elegant, velvety, and seductively fresh, with a refined, elegant finish and a very sweet, fruity core. Will be ready to drink in 2 to 3 years. Drink now or save for later.
