This Vin Doux works well with some cherry pie, I’d guess this is 2% or so R.S., so still lovely Muscat, albeit with that little bit of sweetness, medium-long finish, very nice!! — a month ago

Dark fruited aromas and flavors, this still shows a quite firm structure, long, lingering finish, this needs further cellaring, very fine Alsatian Pinot Noir!! — 2 months ago

9.2

So, this is Agathe’s top cuvée of Sylvaner (which I’ve heard is one of her favorite grapes) grown in the Grand Cru “Zinnkoepfle” — the problem in Alsace is that Sylvaner is not considered a “noble” grape, and thus this wine is “Eminence” rather than identifying the vineyard site. With that said, spicy aromatics, floral and ripe white stonefruit aromas and flavors, great acid balance adds depth and complexity, super fine Alsatian Sylvaner!! — 2 months ago

8.9

Lychee, spicy aromas and flavors, also fat, ripe and rich (maybe almost too ripe?), medium-long finish, very good, might be better as a sipping wine rather than with food? — 3 months ago

A perennial favorite in our house, Agathe’s 2021 Muscat shows less ripeness than other vintages we’ve had, super floral aromas, lithe and crisp on the palate, very pretty and refreshing, really our go-to Alsatian white sipper!! — 7 months ago
