Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 94
"The 2020 Riesling Altenbourg comes from vines that are now 60-70 years old, originally sourced in the Mosel region and planted on the limestone of lieu-dit Altenbourg in Kientzheim. The 2020 was made in stainless steel to prevent this rich vintage from becoming even richer in foudre. The nose is still a little closed but allows glimpses of ripe peach and chalky stone. The palate is absolutely lemon-focused but married to that cool, chalky depth. Even in the hot vintage of 2020, this seems to shrug off any notion of heat and channels all its flavors into precise, citric, cool limestone depth. Wow. Bone-dry finish." -Anne Krebiehl MW
