Jean Becker
Vin d'Alsace Riesling
Alsace, France
Ah, the Jean Becker Vin d'Alsace Riesling, a delightful tipple hailing from the enchanting vineyards of Alsace, nestled snugly between the Vosges Mountains and the Rhine River. This region, with its sun-drenched slopes, crafts wines that sing like drunken angels.
On the nose, the Riesling presents a bouquet of zesty citrus, fragrant peach, and a hint of floral jasmine, leading to a palate bursting with vibrant acidity and a delightful minerality that dances like a mischievous sprite. The finish is long and tantalizing, leaving one yearning for more—rather like an unexpected visit from a distant relative.
Jean Becker, the winemaker, is not merely a purveyor of grape juice; he’s a true maestro, taking the helm of the family estate with an enviable passion. Fun fact: their vineyards have seen grapes cultivated since the 15th century—talk about a history lesson in a bottle!
Pair this darling with spicy Thai cuisine or a creamy raclette. The Riesling's acidity cuts the richness of the cheese while its fruit complements the zing of spices—a veritable culinary waltz! Rated 92 points by the esteemed Robert Parker, it’s a vinous delight that even Bacchus himself would applaud.
