"An opulent Riesling
"For the very hot year, this wine has extraordinary vitality and is brilliant as a diamond! The full-bodied palate is a little richer and more compact than the crystalline nose suggested. I love the lemongrass and dried sage character and the freshness of the lemon zest. Incredibly long and complete finish." (James Suckling 2024)

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
The Ribeauvillé winery is slowly evolving to keep up with the times. After having taken the turn towards grand cru wines, Trimbach is in the process of converting to organic production (certification planned for 2023). The process will require the involvement of grape and wine suppliers. Here, Riesling is king (55% of volumes). The terroirs are ideal: marl-limestone (Geisberg, Mandelberg, Clos-saint-Hune au Rosacker) or granite (Schlossberg, Brand). The cuvée frédéric-émile blends the grand crus Osterberg and Geisberg. The 2017 and 2019 vintages will make history.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 94/100
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the wine:
Between citrus zest and nutmeg, the Geisberg nose is quite radiant. Its intensity of flavor and gentle persistence are impressive.
About the domain :
Trimbach, a landmark winery that stands proudly in the beautiful city of the minstrels, delights wine-lovers with its legendary Frédéric-Émile and Clos Sainte-Hune cuvées. From vintage to vintage, Pierre Trimbach vinifies Riesling in a vertical, dry style. His brother Jean manages worldwide sales. They are now supported by the new generation, Anne and Frédérique (Pierre's daughters) and Pauline and Julien (Jean's children). The family vinifies close to 60 hectares of property and around 100 hectares of purchased grapes. Since 2009, some of the grand crus have been claimed by Jean Trimbach and directly allocated in small quantities to the world's finest tables. Jean Trimbach is making an undeniable contribution to the development of Alsace wines, with emblematic cuvées at international level, while producing entry-level wines of consistent quality. The Pinot Noir range still has room for improvement.

For a very hot year, this wine has extraordinary vitality and is as bright as a diamond! The full-bodied palate is a little richer and more compact than the crystalline nose suggested. I love the lemongrass and dried sage character and the freshness of the lemon zest. Incredibly long and complete finish. Made from organically grown grapes. For drinking or cellaring.

About the wine:
From a vineyard of 2.66 ha, this Grand Cru Geisberg creates the link between floral, fruity and mineral nuances. No one element dominates, but each performs well. The wine has substance, fullness, but also charm, which helps to balance the whole. An imposing wine, inviting, convincing and already accessible, yet with exceptional potential. Persistent finish, ideally supported by a magnificent bitter structure. 2026-2048
