"Elegant, tasty and stimulating" (Parker) "
"The broad spectrum of citrus, crisp pear and stone fruit aromas announces a remarkable success for an entry-level wine. The racy, medium-bodied palate has excellent depth, the chalky minerality contrasting beautifully with the freshness of the fruit. The finish is long and crisp, with great vitality." (James Suckling 2024) - Screw-cap packaging

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.

Domaine noté (guide 2023) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
The 2022 Riesling comes from countless vineyards located between Scherwiller in the north and the Vallé Noble in the south, mainly based on marl-limestone soils. The nose is clear, fresh and intensely aromatic, with even aromas of muscat and herbs and stone, making this more than just a Riesling. On the palate, this is a dry but round and textured Riesling, quite rich, intense and powerful, but certainly elegant, tasty and stimulating, with grip, salts and tension on the crisp finish. 12.8% alcohol. Screw-cap. Tasted at the estate in April 2024.

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:
Quite full-bodied, the simple Riesling is frank and lemony.
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.

About the wine:
Quite correct Alsace dry Riesling. Fresh, racy and young. It's not cheap, but the price is right. Long, with notes of elderflower (JR).

About the wine:
Riesling 2022 is a blend of estate-grown fruit and fruit bought from all over Alsace, with a not inconsiderable proportion from Grand Cru vineyards, plus fruit from the estate's young vines and fruit from Grands Crus that has been brought in, mainly on limestone soils, but with some sandstone and volcanic elements. A lovely crackle of flint mingles with a touch of chamomile and bright notes of dried lemon, resulting in an aromatic nose. The palate is juicy, full of energy, with a slight astringency of citrus peel and pith complementing the exuberance. The 2022 has great tension, dryness and energy. (Bone-dry)

About the wine:
This wine is made from grapes grown on the estate and by the négociant. It includes Grand Cru wines and aims to highlight the overall quality of the grape variety. The bouquet confirms the criteria set by the Trimbach family! It reveals mineral nuances and citrus notes, complemented by reminiscences of white peaches. Lively and saline on the attack, the wine is straightforward, expressive and persistent. Its crispness, tension and persistence are particularly remarkable. Excellent level! Now until 2044 93/100
