Domaine Bott-Geyl - Alsace Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg 2015
16/20
RVF
The Riesling Schlossberg presents a subtle bouquet at first, then empyreumatic notes of smoke and toast, with a hint of minerality and citrus. The palate is racy, precise, and taut, with a lovely salinity on the finish. A beautiful representation of this Grand Cru!

About wine:
Shows itself to be richer in this vintage.
About the estate:
Perfectionist Jean-Christophe Bott is one of Alsace's leading winemakers. He is committed to rigorous work in the cellar and in the vineyard, which is cultivated biodynamically. While it only covered 4 hectares when it was founded in 1953, the estate now has 15 hectares spread across seven communes. The wines here are full-bodied and smooth, with well-controlled richness and no heaviness whatsoever, particularly the Pinot Gris, which is definitely worth rediscovering. Each cuvée has both power and length on the palate, two qualities that lead to fullness. To top it all off, the estate offers slightly older vintages for sale and has recently started renting out cottages.
