"It's spicy, with notes of ripe cherry and raspberry, pomegranate skin and bark. Medium- to full-bodied, polished and silky, with a refined tannic structure and a lingering finish. Very seductive. Drink now. (James Suckling 2024). A supple, well-balanced wine, according to Sophie, it's a "perfect antidote to the fatigue of a long day"!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
In 2011, Julien Schaal set up his own Alsatian structure in parallel with a trading venture in South Africa, a highly original venture since it is based exclusively on the purchase of Grand Cru grapes. There are currently nine grands crus on the menu, covering just about every soil type in the region, and only Riesling is offered, with the exception of a gewurzt from Osterberg and a blend from Altenberg de Bergheim. A blind tasting of his 2017s blew us away. Hats off to him!
