Wine Reviews

The 2022 Riesling Roche Granitique was harvested in the Brand Grand Cru. The nose is clear as a bell with a touch of smoke and a strafe of citrus, but essentially shy. The palate is clear, bright and shining, with a spectrum of plum, from greengage via Reine Claude to Mirabelle. This is fresh, wonderfully stony, zesty, streamlined and pervasive. It’s almost incisive, with just a touch of pepper on the finish and a lovely feel of grapefruit zest. (Bone-Dry)

A lightly fleshy, light- to medium-bodied white, with juicy acidity and a zesty underpinning enlivening well-knit flavors of honeyed apricot, mandarin orange peel, grated ginger and slate.

So effusive and vibrant, yet also blessed with great aromatic charm, this has a stunning combination of pineapple juiciness and smoky character. Then comes the very long, precise finish that’s so stony. From biodynamically grown grapes.

This well-cut white is light- to medium-bodied, with a minerally underpinning of smoky flint to the expressive range of nectarine, star fruit, pink grapefruit granita and cherry blossom flavors, framed by zesty acidity.
