Trimbach Riesling 'Clos Ste Hune' Grand Cru 2011

An exceptional terroir on the "Rosacker" in Hunawihr, this enclosed vineyard which has belonged to the Trimbach family for more than two hundred years covers 1.67 hectares. The vineyard, which is around fifty years old, benefits from a south-south-east exposure on a basement dominated by Muschelkalk limestone or shelled limestone: conditions which give this Riesling a specific fragrance and a remarkable fruit concentration enhanced by a refined touch of minerality at the end of the palate… the sign of recognition so typical of “Clos Sainte Hune” after a few years of aging. The small annual production, 8000 bottles on average, makes it a precious wine coveted by all Riesling lovers and collectors in the world. The “Clos Sainte Hune”, of exceptional aging, reaches its peak only after seven to ten years following its bottling.
