"This wine, re-released recently, is a still-youthful-looking green gold and offers up a rich panoply of vegetable-based scents: botrytis, cabbage and exoticism come to mind, along with woodsmoke and lychee. Very, very long and powerful. Extremely pure and finely etched. Pungent and not too obviously sweet, despite its quite high residual sugar."

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.
