100% Riesling from Zind Humbrecht’s monopole site in Hunawihr, not far from Trimbach’s Clos St. Hune (within the Rosacker Grand Cru). Like Clos St. Hune, it sits on rocky Muschelkalk limestone soils, which allow this Riesling to develop wonderful concentration and minerality. Clean, precise nose with notes of smoke, citrus and minerals. Pure, focused, austere. Chalky texture. Racy acidity. Exceptional — 4 months ago

Popped and poured from a 1.5L; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. This was singing from the first glass to the last. The 2015 “Cuvée Marcel Lapierre” pours a deep, hazy ruby/purple with a near opaque core. Medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the aromatics are off the hook. Still developing with beautiful red and dark fruits: pomegranate, cherry, strawberry, blackberries, herbs, mixed flowers and just a whiff of pastureland. Just lovely stuff. I could just smell my glass all evening and it might just be enough. Alas, I did drink. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium(+?) tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish was long and satisfying. Mathieu and Camille did an excellent job managing the solar nature of the vintage with this bottle. The vineyard source probably didn’t hurt: Cuvée Marcel Lapierre is a blend of fruit from ancient vines in Côte du Py and “Le Douby”. This paired really well with traditional holiday ham balls. Already drinking well now but sure to age effortlessly over the next 10-15 years. — 4 months ago

17.5. Not as rich as some vintages, but the better for that. — 3 days ago
