Wine Reviews

There’s a broad, expansive feel to the palate, which offers notes of persimmon and incense powered by lemon-lime acidity. Details of geranium, salted almond and dried thyme add complexity. The well-cut, bone-dry finish shows echoes of flint smoke. Delicious. Drink now through 2033.

A rich, lushly textured style, offering bitter peach skin and orchard fruit backed by tangy acidity. Full and broad in feel, with chalky mineral notes drawing out the zingy, smoke-laced finish. This is balanced and focused, showing chamomile and flint details.

The wine bursts with vibrant, zesty citrus and green apple, underscored by mineral notes and a lovely purity. There’s great energy here, with the acidity providing a sharp, refreshing lift. The finish is long and persistent, echoing with stony, citrus-driven freshness.

The 2024 Riesling Roche Calcaire results from all the Rieslings grown on limestone across the estate, including declassified wines from the single sites, with a large portion coming from the village of Gueberschwihr supplemented by Heimbourg, Hengst and Häuserer. Flint flickers deliciously on the nose. Underneath, bright lemon zest appears with Amalfi vigor and luminosity. The palate still comes with some residual spritz that underlines the delicacy, finesse, brightness and sylph-like, pure nature of this bone-dry wine. (Bone-dry)

Subtle smokiness hints at the delicious reduction that still weaves through the wine. This is taut, lemony, long, streamlined and tightly coiled—a wellspring of freshness.
