Tasting note
This is a great, intense Riesling Grand Cru with excellent ageing potential, from Alsace's most renowned producer of wines from this noble grape. Don't be fooled by its apparently easy going first impression - this has the capacity to keep for many years. With time, its youthful honeysuckle and peach aromas will give way to deeper, richer beeswax, black truffle, honey and crushed rock character, while maintaining superb freshness and vibrancy.
Vinification
Geisberg fruit has contributed to Cuvée Frédéric Emile. When Trimbach leased more vines from the Couvent de Ribeauvillé, the nuns requested a separate Grand Cru wine. Aged five years, from a steep, south-facing site under nine hectares. Complex soils, old vines and cooling Vosges winds give intense Riesling with grip, complexity and ageing potential.
Food Match
Delicious with fish, poultry and veal and sea scallops. Traditionally served in Alsace with goose and pork and with Alsacian meats.
