Robert Parker

"The Riesling Sélection de Grains Nobles Altenberg de Bergbieten presents an extraordinarily clean, fresh and aromatic bouquet of white peach and apricot underscored by lime and mineral aromas. Round and juicy on the nobly textured, gourmand and highly elegant palate, this is a pure, fine, energetic and saline SGN Riesling with a structured, piquant, persistent and salivating finish. Well-sweetened, but with great delicacy, and with great ageing potential." (Wine Advocate 2017 - Robert Parker)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Estate rated (2017 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

Étienne Loew fights courageously to make known the little-known terroirs of Westhalten, where very few winegrowers bottle their wines. Careful vinification and long ageing (mainly in stainless steel tanks) produce pure, precise wines, and the Rieslings are very dry.

Domaine rated (2017 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning connoisseurs).

About the domain :

For several years now, this estate, skilfully managed by Etienne Loew, has been winning us over with its consistent production and the very high quality of its wines. He has found the key to fully embracing the nuances of the soils around Westhoffen, and defends this somewhat isolated vineyard like a guard watching over his rampart! His touch is sure, his thinking open, and his wines stand out for their elegance. An estate worth discovering.
