"Discreet aromas of musky peach and minerals, plus a light smoky, flinty quality. Then supersweet and rich, in a more massive style than the Sommerberg. With hints of sur maturité and grilled fruit, and an impression of lower acidity than the Sommerberg, this conveys a more pliant texture. And yet it shut down quickly in the glass and was ultimately harder to taste. This powerful and very backward wine should be long-lived . . ."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Sheltered by the Vosges mountains, Alsace produces aromatic, mostly dry varietal whites - Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris - of exceptional purity and ageability.
