Domaine Weinbach - Alsace Riesling MVØ (vin orange) 2022
95/100
James Suckling
"An orange wine with great vibrancy!"
“A very complex nose of caramelized nuts with deep aromas of quince paste and dried apricot. The full-bodied palate strikes a balance between firm, moderately dry tannins and a dry richness. The finish features a delicate hint of potpourri. Give it a little time in the glass, as it really opens up beautifully. ” (James Suckling 2024)

Bettane & Desseauve
5-Star-Rated Estate (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)
About the estate:
Cathy Faller works alongside her sons, Eddy and Théo. The vast vineyard produces fruity wines of excellent structure and great finesse. The finest wines come from the surrounding hillsides: the Grand Cru wines Furstentum and Altenbourg, and the Schlossberg, which shines with its crystalline expression of Riesling. The 2019 acquisition of the Gérard Fuchs estate (in Sigolsheim) added six hectares to the property, including two on the Furstentum grand cru. This is ideal for meeting the unwavering global demand. A true institution.

Rated estate (2023 guide): 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience)
About the estate:
Le Clos des Capucins is one of those magical, elusive, and timeless places. It’s rare to find a place with so much energy and history, producing wines of such purity. Supported by her two sons, Eddy and Théo, Catherine Faller leads the estate, devoting extraordinary energy to maintaining the highest quality in the wines and ensuring a warm welcome for visitors. Her son Théo devotes a great deal of attention to the vineyards, which have been cultivated biodynamically across the entire estate since 2005, while Ghislain Berthiot, who has been with the estate for several years, is in charge of winemaking. Eddy assists his mother with the business side of the operation. Here, you can taste one of the finest expressions of the Schlossberg Grand Cru, at various stages of maturity. Its clarity and precision amaze us, often approaching perfection. Gewürztraminer finds its ideal terroirs in the surrounding area. The estate has just acquired 6 hectares of vineyards, including 1 hectare of the Furstentum Grand Cru.
