Domaine Schieferkopf - Riesling Lieu-dit Fels 2011
94/100
Robert Parker
15/20
Bettane & Desseauve
The 2011 Riesling Fels features musky, sweet-and-sour aromas reminiscent of iris and narcissus. Apple and citrus notes are balanced with mineral notes. Like the Buehl, there is clarity and integrity here. It is likely that this wine will need some time after bottling to be enjoyed at its best. A serious return on investment until at least 2022."

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated 15/20 (Very good wine)
Winery rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, consistent with what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About wine:
Good richness on the palate, powerful and concentrated, compact, with a tight, refined finish.
About the estate:
Biodynamics always takes a few years to produce results, both in terms of rooting and soil life, and Michel Chapoutier knows this well, having purchased this estate in 2009 with a few friends who are lovers of fine wines. Located in northern Alsace, on a vein of blue schist, the estate is gradually making its mark. The Riesling parcels (Burg, Buehl, and Fels) are beginning to reveal the subtle nuances of their soil.
