Gruenspiel
Power and strength as usual in this 2017 Gruenspiel. Generally dry, tight, deep and tannic. Aromas of chocolate, smoked pear and spice. Velvety and complex on the mid-palate, persistent and expressive on the finish.
An open amphitheatre facing south, overlooking the grand crus of Ribeauvillé, this Bergheim terroir, one of the highest quality in the area, takes its poetic name from the checkerboard pattern that expresses the heterogeneous nature of the surface soil, which is made up of a variety of grapes.the soil is made up of torrential deposits of sandstone, granite and sometimes gneiss, laid on a deep matrix of Keuper lake marl.
These dominant characteristics of the grape varieties planted (Riesling, Pinot Noir, Gewurztraminer) give the wine a phenomenal length, a slightly tannic structure and a very good balance.the wine has a phenomenal length, a slightly tannic structure, a power barely rounded by the warm minerality so particular to the rolled gravel.
An iron hand in a velvet glove!
A great wine, fat and concentrated, mineral and spicy, but also particularly fruity.
Orange peel, star anise, blond tobacco and graphite intermingle with the serene and taut structure.
An expressive and bewitching nose of tobacco, yellow-fleshed fruits (vine peach, mirabelle plum) and sweet spices (star anise, vanilla..). The imposing, luminous palate is taut with a mineral acidity that unfolds in a racy unctuousness. A great wine for laying down, to be enjoyed now with poultry, lightly spiced dishes or tartar.
