"Reflecting the granitic soil and a sunny year, this 2020 is very expressive on the nose, finely floral and mineral, with a hint of preserved lemon. White fruit adds to this palette on the full, fat, silky palate, balanced by ripe acidity. A fine Riesling de terroir". (Le Guide Hachette 2024)

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (guide 2024) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2024) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
Riesling has its own street in Scherwiller, which has a communal name for this grape variety. Not far from the village is the sloping hillside of Rittersberg, where this cuvée originates. Reflecting the granitic soil and a sunny year, this 2020 is very expressive on the nose, finely floral and mineral, with a hint of preserved lemon. White fruit adds to this palette on the full, fat, silky palate, balanced by ripe acidity. (Residual sugar 2.1 g/l.)
About the domain :
Based in Scherwiller, near Sélestat, Damien, joined by his daughter Aude, has been running a 16-hectare estate since 1998, supplementing its production with a trading activity. Their vineyards are spread over three terroirs, including Frankstein, a granite grand cru around the neighboring village of Dambach-la-Ville.
