“'Textured Rhône characteristics' (Parker)”

“Highly aromatic and alluring, this Pinot Noir is concentrated and elegant, with great depth and clarity. Aromas of tart cherry, violet, and subtle spices cascade across the palate. Though still very young, it already shines with its long, clean finish. ” (James Suckling, 2022) Cuve 7 owes its name to the number of the vat in which the Pinot Noir Réserve was first produced. It is produced only in the best vintages.

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.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 92/100 (Outstanding wine)

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

The 2020 Pinot Noir Réserve “Cuve 7” is made from vines approximately 40 years old located in Rotenberg (on red clay and limestone) and in Rodern (granite). Macerated for 10 to 12 days and aged in large oak casks until April of the following year, the 2020 offers a deep, intense, and generous bouquet—yet also refined and elegant—of ripe blackberries and cherries intertwined with delicate aromas of toast and salt. Full-bodied, quite rich, and powerful, this Pinot Noir fills the mouth; it is generously fleshy and intense, yet also silky, lush, elegant, and well-structured, with spicy, peppery tannins and textured Rhône-style characteristics, even hinting at licorice on the finish. An interesting and indulgent Pinot with excellent aging potential; however, this wine needs a few years in the bottle to refine and gain finesse. Declared alcohol content: 14%. Diameter of cork. Tasted at the estate in April and November 2024.

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.

Wine rated (4 guide) 16/20

About the wine:

Bright crimson. This is indeed a Pinot Noir, but a bit rough around the edges. Decent and full-bodied, but a bit heavy rather than ethereal. A bone-dry finish that’s still a bit bitter and astringent. (JR)

Highly aromatic and alluring, this Pinot Noir is concentrated and elegant, with great depth and clarity. Aromas of tart cherry, violet, and subtle spices cascade across the palate. Though still very young, it already shines with its long, clean finish. Ready to drink now, but best enjoyed starting in 2024.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 93/100

About the wine:

This Pinot Noir is 100% destemmed. Maceration lasts 10 to 15 days, followed by aging in barrels and stainless steel tanks. The bouquet is characterized by its intense fruitiness and precision. It features notes of cherry and a hint of licorice. The attack signals a wine with good density. It is harmonious and supported by tannins that, together with the tension of the acid structure, create strength and structure. A wine of character with a lingering finish. Some cellaring is recommended! 2026–2040 93/100
