Trimbach bought this vineyard in 2012 and declassified it in both 2012 and 2013, so the first vintage was the 2014. The vines are located right above the Chateau in Kientzheim.
A steely and fruity white with sliced green-apple and lemon aromas and flavors. Medium body. Dry. Crisp acidity. Long and energetic. Minerally at the end. Drink or hold.
94 points James Suckling jamessuckling.com
Pale vivid straw. Perfumed nose of lemon verbena, jasmine and white stone fruit. Enters ripe and juicy, then slightly more austere, but precise stone fruit and herbal flavors linger nicely on the long, youthfully chewy finish. Trimbach makes this wine from a 1.6-hectare parcel of 35-year-old vines on extremely poor soils of mainly granite with very little topsoil (save for the plot’s middle section, which is more fertile). The Trimbach family uses only the vines located above and below the central part, those planted on the poorest and thinnest soils of the site, to make this wine. Pierre Trimbach says that every time he exceeds yields of 35 hL/ha, the wine just isn’t good enough to bottle. Drink 2022-2030.
