Bright straw-green. Slightly reticent aromas of green fruit and fresh herbs are complemented by a vibrant lemony tang. Fresh and clean, showing a stony nuance to the crisp nectarine and sweet herb flavors. Finishes long and bright, with a hint of sucrosité. This is still a little shut down and needs time to open; I’d cellar it for another year or two to let it start showing its best. The grapes are picked in vineyards around the towns of Ribeauvillé, Hunawihr, and Bergheim.

Sleek and finely knit, with a racy backbone of acidity and a subtle, honeyed overtone to the flavors of crunchy white peach, preserved lemon, lanolin and pine. Long and creamy on the minerally finish.
