This biodynamically-grown wine is delicious. Classic Alsace Riesling nose has crisp Golden Delicious apple, scents of stones plucked from a cool stream, a faint meadowy note, and maybe a wee bit of sponti funk (in a tidy way). Nice weight and flavor intensity, but the minerality (which has a nice salinity to it) along with nice acids, keep it fresh. Great purity of flavor and length. On the dry side. Very nicely done. — 3 years ago

This Gewurz has a really nice purity and freshness, likely in part due to the fact it was grown biodynamically. Nose has musky lychee, along with a bright stony minerality that manages to push through the deep Gewurz perfume. Fairly sweet in the mouth, but with enough energy to carry it. Finish is actually kind of delicate. Superb. (Ed.: I actually would prefer it if growers in Alsace moved the needle on Gewurz a bit more to the dry side, but I love the good ones any way I can get them.) — 4 years ago

Until Caroline Frey took over wine making responsibilities, “La Chapelle” was sort of known to me as a perennial underachiever with very few vintages in the last 40 years really meeting their potential. The late 90’s was perhaps the deepest point of the malaise. That being said, this bottle proves that the underpinnings were always there and I found it to be very enjoyable, if not quite on the level of the other examples of late-90’s Hermitage we enjoyed on the night. There is still quite a bit of life left. — 4 years ago

Wine - it can take you places. Last night reminiscing about recent Paris travels so I pulled this beaute to enjoy with a friend. @55Seventy
