Altenbourg Alsace Riesling 2017

Brassy gold color. Classic Alsace nose has petrol-like notes, crushed stone, and golden delicious apple fruit. Smells fresher than the color suggests. Bone dry, with intense crushed stone minerally flavors, bright fruit underneath, and swept along by crisp, mouthwatering acids. Could certainly go a few more years. Nicely done! — 10 months ago

Grand Cru Schoenenbourg Riesling 2020

Delectable Wine
9.5

Grown on various parcels, mainly in the gypsum soils, the 2020 Riesling Schoenenbourg Grand Cru was vinified in stainless steel. It has a peppery, earthy, herbal aspect that soon verges into ripe peach and dried lemon peel. The vivid acidity of the palate seems buffered by layers of chalk. All the precision and coolness of the soil is there, making the mouth water, enticing you to take another sip of this sleek, energetic wine. Bone-dry.

Coeur de Barriques Brand Alsace Pinot Gris 2013

Elegant Pinot Gris with a moderately oily texture and off dry palate- good match to our shrimp salad. Textbook Alsatian Gris with solid acidity to match the fruit component. Nice drink 👍 — 5 years ago

Pensée Pinot Blanc 2018

This is the second wine I’ve had from this Alsace domain and the second wine where the purity and freshness are almost profound. Gorgeously pure nose has ripe appley Pinot Blanc fruit, accentuated by light spice notes, straw, and moist gravelly earth. Intense but very soft and friendly fruit in the mouth. Again, superb purity (apparently the domain farms biodynamically). Decent acids and a fresh finish that has a little herbal thing. Not complex — it is Pinot Blanc, after all — but very satisfying for a weekday white. — 2 years ago

Schoenenbourg Alsace Grand Cru Riesling

Enjoyed the complexity of this wine. Orchard fruit, green apple, peach, apricot along with notes of honey and burnt brown sugar. And typical great Riesling acidity. — 5 years ago
