Robert Parker

“The 2015 Bruderbach Clos des Frères Riesling opens with a clean, concentrated, deep, and mineral-driven nose of perfectly ripe fruit (lemon). Round, intense, and elegant on the palate, it is a clean, fresh, and briny Riesling with a long, aromatic finish. Thanks to its low pH, this is a rich yet taut Clos, highly mineral with a beautiful, persistent structure. Impressive!” (Wine Advocate 2017 - Robert Parker)

Rated estate (2017 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)

About the estate:

Étienne Loew is courageously working to raise awareness of the little-known terroirs of Westhalten, where very few winemakers bottle their own wine. Meticulous winemaking and extended aging (primarily in stainless steel tanks) result in pure, precise wines; the Rieslings are very dry.

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

Wine rated (2017 guide) 91/100 (Excellent wine)

About the wine:

The 2015 Bruderbach Clos des Frères Riesling opens with a clean, concentrated, deep, and mineral-driven nose of perfectly ripe fruit (lemon). Round, intense, and elegant on the palate, it is a crisp, fresh, and briny Riesling with a long, aromatic finish. Thanks to its low pH, this Clos is rich yet full of tension, highly mineral-driven, and boasts a beautiful, persistent structure. Impressive!

Rated estate (2017 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:

For several years now, this estate—skillfully managed by Etienne Loew—has captivated us with the consistency of its production and the exceptional quality of its wines. He has mastered the art of fully capturing the nuances of the soils around Westhoffen, and he tends to this somewhat isolated vineyard with the vigilance of a sentinel guarding his ramparts! His touch is sure, his approach open-minded, and his wines stand out for their elegance. A winery worth discovering.

Review by Mr. GAETAN C. Published on 11/12/2017

A superb wine, very drinkable right now, though it benefits from a little aeration. I'm disappointed I only bought three bottles!!
