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!!

Very aromatic, orange peel, sweet melon on the noise, good saline taste on the palate, balanced acidity, medium finish. Will pair very well with grilled white fish.

Quite youthful, more backward than the 2016 and 2019 were at a similar age, drier and more structured than those earlier vintages, needs aging, very good.

Lovely Alsatian Muscat, great acid, needs 1-2 more years of aging.

Floral, aromas suggest just a tad of sweetness, flavors a light, lively, round and simply beautiful, medium-long finish, great Alsatian Muscat!! BTW, Bollenberg is NOT a Grand Cru to my knowledge, it would certainly say so on the label if it was!!
