Hunawihr - Domaine Zind-Humbecht

  

96/100 James Suckling

When to drink this wine : 2023 - 2040+.

Tasted by JS in 2022: "This wine smells like the ripest melon you can imagine. Fresh herbal notes, including a touch of mint. Super elegant and bright with a very sensual, silky texture on the generous palate. The amazing concentration masks the high acidity that fuels the very long, chalky finish. With such vitality, it certainly has enormous aging potential. Made from biodynamically grown grapes. Drink it or keep it."

 

Sweetness index on the palate: 1: technically dry or dry tasting wine.

The altitude of the vineyard, combined with the later climate of Hunawihr, means that Clos Windsbuhl is often one of the last vines harvested on the Domaine. For the same grape variety, there can be up to three weeks difference between the earliest plots of the Herrenweg and the Clos Windsbuhl.

This explains the aromatic quality of the Clos' wines and their constant balance in acidity, a guarantee of good ageing. Often harvested late, the Windsbuhl grapes rarely botrytise, no doubt due to the altitude, but they often reach high levels of ripeness.

Today, the Clos has a surface area of 5.5ha. The Pinot-Gris is in the majority, followed by Gewurztraminer and Riesling.

Tasting notes: A harmonious version, with a lovely note of cherry blossom mingling with aromas of ripe pear, flaked almond, lemon parfait and clover honey. A well-knit style that shows the spicy finish well. 

 

Index: Sweetness level on the palate. Scale of 1 to 5.

1: Technically dry or tasting dry. 2: Not technically dry, but the sugars are not obviously apparent on the palate. Some tasters may find a slight roundness on the finish. These wines will taste dry with some bottle age.3: Medium sweetness, more important in the youth of the wine, which will gradually fade with age. 4 : Sweet wine. 5 : Sweet wine, very close to a Vendange Tardive

 

Attention: The bottles of Alsace wine do not fit into the wooden boxes sold separately.

I love this site. Whether it's for old wines, or recent ones. The choice of partner estates is impressive, and allocations are sold at fair prices. Ludovic's advice is always excellent.
