The Story
Pale yellow color. An expressive Riesling nose typical from limestone origin: citrus, light mineral notes, stony flavors, honey. Vivacious palate, crisp, amazing acidity and freshness. This is a very classic Roche Calcaire that finishes bone dry with a lacy texture. This wine will still need some time to open up and it is highly recommended to decant it in the first years after bottling.
94 Points - James Suckling
Brimming with star fruit, bergamot and flint, this is a dangerously fresh and minerally dry riesling for this warm and dry vintage. Terrific drive right through the bone-dry palate, the slate and Amalfi lemon zest at the finish strident. From biodynamically grown grapes.
91 Points - Wine Spectator
A rich, lushly textured style, offering bitter peach skin and orchard fruit backed by tangy acidity. Full and broad in feel, with chalky mineral notes drawing out the zingy, smoke-laced finish. This is balanced and focused, showing chamomile and flint details. Drink now through 2032. 200 cases imported.
