After a few years' ageing, Pinot will become rounder, suppler on the palate and give notes of undergrowth, perfect with poultry of character.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b>Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg 2015 - Domaine Trimbach<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"fr-FR\">A recent addition to the estate's Grands Crus family, it was acquired by the Trimbach family in 2012. The Riesling enjoys a south-facing exposure for year-round sunshine, and is planted on granitic soils that give it extra tension.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The 2015 vintage is magnificent in Alsace and has produced grapes of great ripeness. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"fr-FR\">Complex, powerful and straightforward, it will stand up to this coq en sauce.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/domaine-trimbach\">&gt; Our wines from Domaine Trimbach<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\n<ul>\n<li lang=\"fr-FR\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b>Riesling Cuv\u00e9e Colette 2018 - Domaine Weinbach<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"fr-FR\">This cuv\u00e9e, a tribute to Catherine Faller's mother and grandmother, comes from old Riesling vines located on the estate's Grand Cru Schlossberg. Ample and full-bodied, the palate is well-balanced with good acidity. Expressive and greedy, the wine develops aromas of white fruits and spices. The finish is greedy without being sweet. Another way to accompany coq au riesling, more on the sweet side.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/weinbach\">&gt; Our Domaine Weinbach wines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\n<ul>\n<li lang=\"fr-FR\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b>Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru 1998 Les Gruenchers - Armelle and Bernard Rion<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"fr-FR\">4<\/span><sup><span lang=\"fr-FR\">\u00e8me<\/span><\/sup><span lang=\"fr-FR\"> generation of an estate founded in 1880, Bernard Rion has been assisting his father since 1973, helped by his wife Armelle.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"fr-FR\">Chambolle Musigny \"Les Gruenchers\" measures just 0.20 hectares and lies below Grand Cru Bonne Mares. The vines are around sixty years old, and benefit from sustainable, reasoned vineyard management. After a period of punching down, the wine is aged in barrel for 15 months, including 60% of new barrels. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"fr-FR\">The wine is rich and dense, yet feminine at the same time.
