Robert Parker

"The 2015 Riesling Bruderbach Clos des Frères opens with a clean, concentrated, deep and mineral nose of perfectly ripe fruit (lemon). Round, intense and elegant on the palate, this is a clean, fresh and saline Riesling with a long, aromatic finish. Thanks to a low pH, it's a greedy Clos but full of tension, very mineral with a beautiful, persistent structure. Impressive" (Wine Advocate 2017 - Robert Parker)

Expert opinion

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.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France

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 watchman guarding his rampart! His touch is sure, his thinking open, and his wines stand out for their elegance. An estate worth discovering.
