Screwcap. Tense but with great fruit and precision. Bone dry but definitely not for neophytes. (JR)

TA 8.52 g/l. 20% of the grapes come from grand cru vineyards. They changed to screwcap a few years back. Anne Trimbach describes this as ‘classic, our calling card’. Made in large stainless-steel tanks. Clean, pretty, neat. Unmistakably Alsace but not nearly as interesting as their Sylvaner. Bone dry. Limes and apples. Perfectly correct if not thrilling. (TC)
The fruit for this estate 2021 Riesling is from numerous villages with limestone, sandy and granitic soils. It is blended every year for consistency - which here means purity and precision. A lovely tangerine hint characterizes the nose with tart citrus intensity; a touch of smoky reduction is still at play. The palate, likewise, is a picture of tart, juicy, mouth-watering citrus. It's straight, focused, slender, yet alive. Riesling lovers will rejoice at this taut and refreshing cuvée. (Bone-dry)
An archetypal Alsace dry riesling with a wide spectrum of aromas ranging from lemon and crisp pear to fresh pineapple and candied orange. Very crisp and focused palate with a wonderful freshness that’s hard to resist. Long, ample finish that’s very clean. From organically grown grapes. Drink from release. Screw cap.
