Tasting Notes

Clear, deep, complex, fresh, and mineral on the nose with lemon, floral (blossom) and some caramel flavors; it is very fresh and subtle. Clear and mineral on the palate, incredibly fresh and vital, the 2007 Riesling Clos Ste Hune reveals great purity, finesse, and a lingering salty finish with a lot of tension and a very good grip. Really stimulating. A great dry Riesling.

Score: 94

Trimbach’s 2007 Riesling Clos Ste-Hune displays genuine intrigue in its array of floral, mineral and animal shadings focusing on narcissus, musk, shimmering crystalline stoniness, alkalinity, and savory salinity. Grapefruit and orange are tinged with juniper berry, quinine, as well as hints of white truffle that enhance the resemblance to 1996 (although Trimbachs compare this with their 2001). And while less austere than the corresponding Frederic Emile, this is no less penetratingly or exhilaratingly long. An amazingly extract- and energy-rich, kaleidoscopically multi-faceted Ste-Hune, it should be absorbing to follow for a quarter century or more. Drink: 2010 - 2035.

Clos Sainte Hune is the quintessential Riesling. It is unquestionably the finest produced in France, and can rival any Riesling produced in the world. The Clos Ste-Hune combines an extraordinary minerality with striking concentration and intensity, which are often hidden beneath exceptional levels of acidity. This can be a powerful, concentrated wine, but it always comes across as delicate, nuanced, and fresh.
