tasting note

There is still an obvious lees autolysis influence as the fruity aromas (white fruits, pears) are mixed with more toasty, rock dust scents. It is possible to sense how this wine is going to open up and deliver fabulous aromas in the near future. The wine hits the palate full on, delivering a silky smooth texture where the ripe acidity brings salivation on the finish. It is a very enjoyable wine, delicate yet lasts a long time on the palate. The granite influence can be seen through the generosity of taste and pleasure this wine brings. The great origin comes on the finish with the presence of noble tannins. It can be enjoyed now, but will still improve for many years.

points of distinction

• Roche Granitique offers an introduction to the complex wines of the Brand Grand Cru
• This is a wine approachable in it's youth yet will age easily for 6 - 8 years
• An elegant expression of the granite Riesling versus limestone Riesling
