Spice, floral, lychee, this vintage has taken on some weight since last I tried it 20 months ago, medium-long finish, this goes very well with the stir fry my wife served tonight!! — 3 months ago

So, this is Agathe’s top cuvée of Sylvaner (which I’ve heard is one of her favorite grapes) grown in the Grand Cru “Zinnkoepfle” — the problem in Alsace is that Sylvaner is not considered a “noble” grape, and thus this wine is “Eminence” rather than identifying the vineyard site. With that said, spicy aromatics, floral and ripe white stonefruit aromas and flavors, great acid balance adds depth and complexity, super fine Alsatian Sylvaner!! — 8 months ago

Spice, mineral, starting to take on some roundness, but retains its great balancing acidity, I have a long-term fondness for Alsatian Pinot Blanc, this has definitely improved since last bottle I opened, very hood! — 3 months ago

Faint petrol/diesel aromas, floral and white stonefruit aromas and flavors dominate, very youthful and primary, very good acid, this also needs further aging, very nice Alsatian Riesling!! — 5 months ago

This Vin Doux works well with some cherry pie, I’d guess this is 2% or so R.S., so still lovely Muscat, albeit with that little bit of sweetness, medium-long finish, very nice!! — 7 months ago

Dark fruited aromas and flavors, this still shows a quite firm structure, long, lingering finish, this needs further cellaring, very fine Alsatian Pinot Noir!! — 8 months ago

Basket of fresh black and red fruits, smoky notes, roasted, charcoal, pepper, violet. The nose suggests a little residual sugar, except it will turn out to be very dry in the mouth. Supple and beautiful creaminess, the texture in the mouth is beautiful. Côte-Rôtie style. Superb for its price.

Panier de fruits frais noirs et rouges, notes fumées, rôties, charbon, poivre, violette. Le nez suggère un peu de sucre résiduel, hors il se révélera très sec en bouche. Souplesse et belle onctuosité, la texture en bouche est magnifique. De la puissance totalement enrobée. Une Cote Rôtie masquée, sous le nom Vin de France. Superbe pour son prix! — 2 years ago
