About this Wine

94 POINTS - Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous, January 2025
‘The 2023 Riesling Homage à Hubert Trimbach is a one-off wine made in honor of Hubert Trimbach (1938-2023), who passed away on the second day of the 2023 harvest. The grapes were sourced from three parcels, including some Grand Crus, which Jean Trimbach wants to keep a secret, but he reveals that there are schist, Triassic limestone and granitic-volcanic soil influences. Trimbach notes that the idea was to have a wine that will be ready to drink a little earlier. A delicate scent of tangerine hovers tenderly on the nose. The palate has a lovely juiciness and a slightly richer, smoother mouthfeel. This is fleshy and superbly clean-cut. (Bonedry)’

A selection of Riesling from various Alsace Grands Crus. The 2023 vintage showed a dry mild, winter, followed by a wet and mild Spring. The Summer was hot and dry, but a bit of rain helped the vines cope with water stress. The harvest was sunny with cool nights, favorable for the Riesling to ripen beautifully. It is a vintage with freshness and fruitiness, and is very accessible today.

Alsatian wine

Alsace is a unique wine region in North Eastern France, bordering Germany and having also been under German control for much of its existence. Due to this influence, unlike other French regions, wines from Alsace are mostly single varietal bottlings and are also labelled with the variety. They also are legally required to use a tall slimmer bottle called flûtes d'Alsace, that is also commonly seen with German wines.

Almost all the wine produced in the region is white (90%) except for Pinot Noir which is used mainly for sparkling wine. Alsace is most known for its Riesling, which is dry, fresh and floral in its youth but develops complex mineral and flint character with age. Following behind is Gewurztraminer with signature spice and beautiful lychee aromatics. The smell of this wine is intoxicating, it is used to make dry but also late harvest dessert wines. Pinot Gris is also a prized variety of the region with its combination of crisp acidity and savory spice as well as ripe stone fruit flavours.

In Autumn humidity builds up to facilitate the development of “noble rot” to produce late-picked sweet wines. In Alsace there are two classifications for late harvest wines: Vendange Tardive (VT) and Sélection de Grains Nobles (SGN). VT for regular late harvest wines and SGN meaning grapes affected by noble rot.

Other varieties grown here include Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Auxerrois, Chasselas and Sylvaner.
