Pale lemon with pronounced stone fruit and citrus aromas. On the palate flavors of juicy apple and citrus with lively acidity, minerality and spice. Medium finish ending with fresh fruit and a touch of stony mineral notes. — 4 years ago

Probably my all-time favourite white - perfect balance of acidity and sweetness, slight hint of mineral notes and lots of fruit (lychee, peaches, some pear). Lovely stuff! — 6 years ago

At $28 usd an exceptional value for an Alsatian GC. 2016 vintage was challenging initially but progressively improved. Some higher acidity levels here but overall doing well. Floral freshness, citrus and a touch of petrol and waxiness with Meyer lemon and minerality throughout palate. Not a stunner but a steal at the price. — 6 years ago

Last night was the Confrerie St. Etienne Spring dinner. It was my first time attending. This is a chapter of the original group out of Alsace, France, and is the only chapter here in the US...just happens to be in my neck of the woods! Great introduction to Alsace wines.

Kind of surprised at the reviews here for this wine. Maybe people rated the wrong one? This grand cru Riesling was paired with a Chilean sea bass and both were excellent. Not a lot of petrol on the nose, but it checked off most Riesling notes of honeycomb, pear and had that lovely sweet and quick finish on the palate. — 9 years ago

Similar notes to 65 weeks ago when I had the last one. A colour of pale to mid Gold. Delicate white florals initially with a touch of petro-chemical. Aromas of sweet pea (flower) and orange peel - citrus in general. As the wine developed, aromas of honeysuckle. On the palate notes of Quince with a sweetish honeyed end. One of the 1001 Wines from one of the world’s great Riesling vineyards which was originally planted and tended by monks in the 1500s. — 4 years ago

Smells of stone fruit with a soft hint of citrus. Taste of melon, mixed with a bit of sourness of lemons. Really a great combo of stone fruit + like get sourness. Crisp acid to make it an excellent pairing with food. Just a delightful wine to drink. — 8 years ago

Deliciously floral and refreshingly acidic. Aromatic green apple, pear and rose petal fuse together in this dry, balanced Riesling. — 9 years ago

Pleasant, light, not too complex or heavy. Good example of a simpler-style Cremant. — 5 years ago
