Tasting Notes

Aroma

An already open nose reveals promising aromas, combining white fruits with herbal notes such as linden and bay leaf. With aeration, a latent power emerges.

Palate

On the palate, a dense, almost linear acidity propels the wine. Kumquat zest and the sharpness of yuzu dominate, supported by hints of lemongrass and cardamom. The finish is pure and highly salivating; still somewhat restrained, it carries fine bitters that will underscore its future minerality.

Vinification

The grapes are handpicked and whole bunches are pressed. There is static settling of the lees. The wine is fermented in temperature-controlled tuns, followed by raising on the less for 8 months.

Food Matching

At the table, I like to pair it with a millefeuille of pikeperch with fennel confit, smoked trout in a citrus sauce, grilled lobster tail with spiced sweet potato purée and tarragon cream, or goat’s milk cheese... Serving temperature: 12°C.

Winemakers Comments

Ranked among the best wines in the world, the Riesling is one of Alsace’s biggest successes. Introduced in the 15th century, and originating from the Orleanois region, it is different from its German counterpart and from the numerous Riesling, which can now be found a little all over the world. A late-ripening grape variety, it continues to ripen at low temperatures, but gives marvelous results when there is a sunny, dry, late summer. First distinguished in 1699, Kitterlé has always had an exceptional reputation. Already protected in the middle ages, it has been sold under its own name since 1830.

Region Notes

This volcanic-sandstone plot is on a unique site, on a steeply sloping rocky outcrop facing three ways (south-west, south and south-east). The light, sandy soil, which is kept back by huge dry stonewalls, only gives very low yields (25 to 35 hl/ha)
