"A sumptuous Riesling that will delight both those who are patient and those in a hurry!"

The Roche Calcaire Riesling is a “marathon” white wine that requires patience to reveal its full potential. Those who prefer a quick taste will enjoy its citrus aromas and full-bodied, briny palate after decanting. Those with more patience will delight in a refined and intense Riesling. Everyone will appreciate this intense, lingering, and easy-to-drink wine!

Rated estate (2024 guide): 5*Stars (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)

About the estate:

For three decades, this estate—a model of Alsatian winemaking—has told the story of the Humbrecht family. Léonard, the founder, was a visionary who acquired the region’s finest terroirs, including the famous Rangen. Olivier, his son, brilliantly introduced the principles of biodynamics as early as the 1990s. And today, Pierre-Émile, who joined the estate during the very challenging 2021 vintage, is continuing their legacy, particularly with the latest acquisitions on the Sommerberg.

Rated estate (2024 guide): 4*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:

An tireless ambassador for his wines and the region, Olivier Humbrecht—the first Frenchman to earn the Master of Wine designation—has long understood the importance of work in the vineyard. He converted the estate to biodynamic farming in 1999 and is one of its leading advocates, serving as president of the Biodyvin label. This approach to viticulture has allowed him to avoid botrytis and reduce alcohol levels. The wines have evolved over the years and now exhibit a decidedly dry style, while the large casks age them several meters underground. Like all great Alsatian wines, they reach their full potential after a few years or decades of aging. The Clos Windsbuhl is a must-try, and the Rangen de Thann really comes into its own with age. Pierre-Emile, Olivier’s son, has just joined the estate. The excellence of this production, respected by all, has earned this iconic estate a place in the pantheon of our guide with a fourth star.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 93/100

About the wine:

The 2024 Riesling Roche Calcaire is made from all the Rieslings grown on the estate’s limestone soils, including downgraded wines from individual plots—a large portion of which comes from the village of Gueberschwihr, supplemented by cuvées from Heimbourg, Hengst, and Häuserer. Notes of flint sparkle delightfully on the nose. In the background, bright lemon zest emerges, with the vigor and radiance of Amalfi. On the palate, there is still a slight touch of effervescence that highlights the delicacy, finesse, liveliness, and pure, airy character of this very dry wine. (Very dry)
