The 2015 Riesling Réserve comes mostly from low-yielding old vines on limestone soils in and around Ribeauvillé. The 2015 opens with a clear, fine, precise and spicy/mineral nose with lemon flavours. Intense, round and juicy on the palate, this is an elegant, quite complex and persistently salty Riesling with good structure and a gastronomic phenolic grip. Great vintage, great quality, great value.
Drink 2019-2028.
‘Pale straw. White stone fruit, botanical herbs and crushed stone on the perfumed nose. Dense, rich and juicy, displaying clean mineral nuances to the mirabelle and apple flavours. Long, lemony and fresh on the zingy finish.
Made with roughly 40-year-old vines historically used to make the Réserve (from vineyards around the towns of Ribeauvillé, Hunawihr and Bergheim). This will go on sale toward the end of 2017, as the estate is still currently selling its 2013. Drink 2109-2028.’
