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.
Producer
Region
Stretching North-South for over 100 kilometers, Alsace is a wine region of variation which is typified by its 51 Grands Cru - from Altenberg to Zotzenberg, This is the only region in france whereby the wines are named after the variety and not the area. Typically producing white wines such as Riesling, Pinot Gris & Gewurtztraminer, although some reds are also produced. We like Domaine Bruno Sorg & Domaine Albert Boxler to name a couple.
