- Light gold color with medium forming legs - Excellent dry Riesling with depth, texture, minerality, and touch of sweetness that goes well with curried flavors as well as roast chicken. Just as good second day.

Nez très racoleur sur des notes d'agrumes(pamplemousse, orange, citron), de mangue et de fleur. En fait, c'étais très floral! Bouche grasse, riche, bien équilibrer avec une acidité modérer comparer à celle bu ce printemps. Très belle accord avec la morue, donnant un surplus de fraicheur au vin et passait relativement avec le canard, le vin ayant assez de structure pour le supporter.

Dégusté sur une période de 5 jours, servi le premier jour avec un homard au beurre citronné.
Nez: Arôme de citron, de citron confit, de pêche et de citronnelle. C'est frais et sa donne le goût de s'y tremper les lèvres! Bouche: C'est sec avec une belle richesse au niveau fruit. Belle équilibre gras/acidité, une pointe d'amertume mais rien de gênant, avec une légère minéralité en final. Le vin devint plus tendu avec le homard.
Conclusion: Ce vin m'a proccurer beaucoup de plaisir. Il s'est très bien tendu pendant les 5 jours, je dirrais même qu'il étais plus précis vers la fin.

Rich, deep straw-colored color with green highlights. Slightly oily appearance. Quite rich, but very fresh and youthful nose with aromas of fresh apple, some lime and a little stony minerality. On the palate the wine is bright, dry and focused with pure, lively flavors of ripe apple, citrus fruits and a hint of saline minerality. Quite high in acidity, giving the wine very crisp, almost mouth-puckering character. Lacking that heaviness and excess fat so typical of 2009 Rieslings. Very powerful, intense and mineral finish that segues into a persistent, fruitier aftertaste of fresh apple, some dried pineapple and finally hints of honeyed sweetness.
A very positive effort for a 2009 Riesling - focused, bright, structured and high in acidity. If served blind, I wouldn't guess this was a warm vintage wine. Great balance and harmony showing good Grand Cru intensity and structure but without excessive concentration. Furthermore, the wine feels almost painfully young at the age of 3 years - I'd guess the wine will start drinking nicely after a few more years and will probably peak after 10-15 years. Great stuff and definitely worth cellaring.

Off dry with ripe apples, melons, peaches, apricots and petroleum. Really nice long finish. This is excellent.
