Honey, floral, tiny bit of petrol, great balance, medium-rich, long, lingering finish, terrific Alsatian Riesling. — 6 months ago

Still quite primary redfruits, a tad riper than red Burgundy and not quite as silky smooth, yet a wonderful and complex Pinot Noir nonetheless, should improve for at least 5+ years, but lovely now, long, lingering finish, purchased en situ in May of 2019. — 2 years ago

Outstanding Alsatian Pinot Noir, from vineyards in Wettolsheim, next to Colmar. Precise nose with notes of red fruit, smoke, minerals. Fresh, lively, good acidity — 4 years ago

“In the glass, the wine has a beautiful, limpid yellow gold color. Aromas of Cavaillon melons, lemon oil, macadamia, and crystallized honey, along with more fleeting suggestions of bergamot, orange blossoms, and dried figs move in and out of the foreground as the nose evolves in the glass. On the palate, the wine is dry, sumptuous, and harmonious, with layered flavors that echo the nose, all seasoned with the exotic saline minerality that is characteristic of Maxime’s brilliant 2018 vintage.” — Moore Brothers Wine Co. — 6 years ago

Riesling “Liemental” VT (500/ml). Petrol/diesel aromas up front, great acid balance, off-dry, but not overly sweet, 13 years old and barely evolved, long finish, great Alsatian VT Riesling!! (Purchased at the winery in 2019.) — 6 years ago

On my second trip to Alsace, we stumbled upon this winery by accident. A cancellation by Barmes Buecher gave us the opportunity to take a cold and sleepy drive up through Bergheim and in to Rorschwihr where we were welcomed by quite the views and wines. One of the bottles I brought home.

Known for producing wines that are at peak (almost late) maturity, all wines have plenty of fruit and off-dry profiles (ideally picking right before botrytis sets in), and all wines are released when deemed ready (as this 2015 was, as well as a 2003 Pinot Blanc).

It’s not common to see 100% auxerrois as it’s normally blended with Pinot Blanc, as adds a touch more body and honey. Mission achieved here. Deep golden color. Lovely aromatics of spiced pears and honeyed tropical fruits. Maturity and sweetness are balanced on the palate with so much fresh honey yet not cloying or stepping in to dessert wine territory. Not a lesson is complexity, but certainly a lesson in how some of these grape that are normally consumed early can age properly.

Followed over three days and experienced a consistent profile. The residual sugar will certainly help carry this a while. No rush. — 6 months ago

Highly aromatic, rose petals and floral, red berry fruit as well, quite suave and smooth on the palate, still needs 3-5 years of cellaring, maybe just a tad finer than the Barmes-Buecher, but both are excellent, long, lingering finish, also purchased en situ in May of 2019. — 2 years ago

A little toasty and autolytic on the nose. Fruit is quite Chardonnay like though that’s only 10% of the blend. Very dry, but with nice flavor intensity and acids. — 3 years ago

Vintage 2019 | very typical Riesling with so much acidity I raised my eyebrows, but it came all together with a codfish on a risotto of potatoes | at La Taverne Alsacienne in Ingersheim — 4 years ago

Greatest value of the year? Pure liquid gold, dry but with a deep alsascian sweetness; round mouthfilling medium acid and a long satisfying tropical fruit-finish. Mon dieu! — 6 years ago
