Riesling Mandelberg Grand Cru 2022 - Domaine Trimbach

Riesling Mandelberg Grand Cru 2022 - Domaine Trimbach

Alsace - Domaine Trimbach - Riesling Mandleberg

96/100 James Suckling

This grand cru dry riesling makes quite a bold statement on the nose and the front palate, where there is deep and ripe citrus fruit, but it's real greatness creeps up on you as the profound minerality rises up on the medium- to full-bodied palate like a whale breaching the calm surface of the ocean. Very long and sensuous finish that you don't want to leave and which doesn't want to leave you. From organically grown grapes. 

Presentation of the cuvée: It's a great moment for Domaine Trimbach! Since 1996, the estate has been cultivating this Grand Cru d'Alsace named Mandelberg. It is located under the almond tree hill in Mittelwihr. The estate has therefore decided to add it to its range of Grand Crus. This great wine of Alsace is produced on a terroir with brown limestone soil and rolled limestone pebbles. South / South-East exposure is warm and early. Extremely limited production for this beautiful rare wine.
