"French sugar-coated almond candies (dragees), quartz, and stone-like aromas are found in the nose of the 2001 Riesling Schlossberg Cuvee Ste.-Catherine. Armed with inspiring breadth, concentration, and richness, it reveals loads of stone, mineral, and pear flavors in its deep character. Rich yet highly focused and pure, this medium-bodied, satin-textured wine also sports an exceptionally long and detailed finish."

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.
A highly aromatic white of piercing acidity and transparency to terroir, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. It ages remarkably and is the noble grape of Germany and Alsace.
