Tasting notes
The 2021 Riesling Colette is clear and elegant on the generous and slightly flinty nose that offers tropical fruit aromas and the salinity of the bottom of the Schlossberg. The finish is finely tannic, very salty and pure but also represents a concentrated and fully ripe Riesling. 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024.

The 2021 Riesling Cuvée Colette is from the Bonnes Terres lieu-dit just underneath the Schlossberg, on granite. The vines are between 50 and 60 years old, rooting in deeper topsoil, so there never is hydric stress. The nose is shy, allowing only an occasional flicker of citrus, but the palate comes in with lovely focus and citric verve. Lemon zest and pith frame the juicy, light-bodied flow. Lovely, light and super-refreshing. The long lemon finish is totally mouth-watering. (Bone-dry)
Seductive and subtle with a mineral undertow. Such a lot of life in this. Just gorgeous and unspittable. So long! (JR)
