Alsace Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg Trimbach (Domaine) 2019

The wine

This cuvée comes from one of the finest terroirs in the Mercurey appellation. The Pinot Noir is grown on a south-facing parcel propitious to its ripening. It is powerful, concentrated and delivers intense notes of fresh fruits. It would pair perfectly with red meats or roasted chicken. Keep it in your cellar and drink within 15 years.

About the Producer Trimbach

Descendants of a long line of wine enthusiasts, Hubert and Bernard Trimbach manage the property with their sons Pierre and Jean. Firmly rooted in Alsace since 1626, the Trimbach name rapidly gained a regional and then international reputation, largely thanks to Frédéric-Emile Trimbach at the end of the 19th century. The property is located on some magnificent terroirs, some benefitting from grand cru status, but appellation approval has never really interested the Trimbach family, who prefer to produce distinguished blends that they market under their own brand names. Their vinification methods have resisted the siren call of modern technology; the owners monitor every stage, with a strict respect for tradition, in order to ensure that the famous "Trimbach style" is preserved, which serves as an international benchmark for Alsace wines.
