"The 2010 Buehl Riesling offers juicy aromas of ripe peaches and apricots, tinged with the invigorating bitterness of their pits and smoky notes of black tea. Ample and fresh, especially for this vintage, it finishes with a marked minerality that some attribute to the blue slate soils. Scents of musk and peony on the palate lend a mystical touch to this wine, which should be followed through to at least 2020." (Wine Advocate 2014 - Robert Parker)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 15.5/20 (Very good wine)
Domaine rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the wine:
Straightforward, uncluttered palate, good dry extract, a tight finish for the moment but with great promise, pineapple finish.
About the domain :
Biodynamic viticulture always takes a few years to take effect, both in terms of rooting and soil life, and Michel Chapoutier is well aware of this, having bought this estate in 2009 with a few wine-loving friends. 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 bring out the subtle nuances of the soil.
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Wine rated (2014 guide) 16/20 (Very good)
About the wine:
The mineral and floral character of the first nose is followed by notes of white fruit, exotic fruit, lemon, candied pineapple and a touch of salt. This rich cuvée, structured around fine acidity and ripe fruit, is enhanced on the finish by a hint of iodine. This full-bodied Alsace is the ideal accompaniment to grilled river fish.
