"Pale medium yellow. Very minerally aromas of pineapple and crushed stone. Powerful, pure wine with flavors of raw pineapple, crushed and liquid stone and menthol. This has an almost painful intensity, as well as a light touch that's a pleasant surprise for the vintage. Finishes very long and powerful, with a youthfully aggressive character and a hint of almond."

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.
