"Aromas of pineapple, minerals, spring flowers, mint and wet stone; a bit atypically exotic for this bottling. Then fat and rich but focused, with strong fruit and honey flavors. Powerful and long on the finish. Conveys an exhilarating sappy quality but comes across as much less austere than usual for this grand cru."

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.
