Jubilee Alsace Riesling 2009

9.4

*pic of the white wines* One of the wines I supplied for an annual lunch hosting (co-host this time), along with the 2018 Morlet LpD. 2009 was the last year Hugel used “Jubilee” before moving to “Grossi Laüe”. This is Hugel’s “Grand Cru” selection from their Schoenenbourg vineyard.

Undeniably Alsatian Riesling in the glass from first whiff…floral, minerals, and only slightly TDN (petrol) aromatic driven, but noticeable power. Vintage (and age) has helped this reach a fantastic drinking window where acidity and flavor profile are in balance and not fighting each other. Ripe herb-crusted yellow fruits alongside limestone/mineral in a powerful profile. There is warmth to this vintage and it makes an appearance in how fleshy the wine is (which is great). At almost 16yrs, there is no rush, but this drinking window is exceptional.

Need to find a Riesling like this. Haven’t had a great one in forever.

I have a fondness for Alsatian Riesling, especially from the OG producers. These older Hugel wines (either Jubille or the new Grossi Laue designation) are always a treat.

Reserve Alsace Pinot Gris 2018

Delicious. Would’ve preferred a bit more age on this, to balance out the sweetness… but ~7 years is enough to make it interesting. Paired incredibly well with the Golden Eye Snapper course at ATOMIX. I look forward to trying a 15-years old vintage; great QPR. — 10 months ago

Domaine Weinbach

Cuvée Ste. Catherine Schlossberg Alsace Grand Cru Riesling 2022

Perhaps something is off with my palate today, but tasting one of the world‘s great rieslings was a massive disappointment. Can’t get past the extraction and the insanely high alcohol that dwarfs the moderate acidity and faint minerality. Highly extracted phenolics. Least disappointing of the lineup, but worst once you factor in price — 5 months ago

L'Inédit! Cuvée Ste. Catherine Schlossberg Alsace Grand Cru Riesling 2013

Opulent and hedonistic nose and entry. Wonderfully balanced feinherb/demi-sec mouthfeel on the midpalate and finish.
Complex and delightful wine, showing better on day 2.
From a 0,375l.

Clos Windsbuhl Alsace Riesling 2005

Truly a stunning wine. Amber in the glass, but in a perfect place. Such intensity and depth, just unlike most other wines. A bit overly hedonistic. Hint of sweetness. Great length. White tropical fruits on the nose. Just delicious. — 4 years ago
