Riesling
lively
complete
This Riesling is full-bodied, well-rounded, and balanced, with notes of exotic fruits and a refreshing quality. This cuvée, a blend of Riesling grapes from the estate’s various plots, beautifully showcases the complexity of Alsatian terroirs.

Wine rated 16.5/20, Editor's Choice (2017 vintage)

Rated Estate (2021 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:

The work of Jean-Paul and Marie Zusslin, who carry on the family winemaking tradition dating back to 1691, has been exemplary for several years now. Based in Orschwihr, on a beautiful vineyard, they form a passionate, charismatic duo dedicated to a job well done. And they’re taking on more and more projects: designing a new bottle, installing dozens of beehives and birdhouses in the vineyards…. Each has their own role: Marie handles marketing, while Jean-Paul works in the vineyards and the cellar. Biodynamic viticulture since 1997, meticulous winemaking, and precise aging sum up the work of this leading estate, where a plot-by-plot approach is ever-present, even in the crémants. The excellence of their lineup suggests they may move up in our rankings!
