Bottles of fine wine: Riesling Grand Cru Schoenenbourg Révélation 2020 - Amélie et Charles Sparr
Direct from the estate
Organic wine : Ecocert and Demeter certified wine
95/100 James Suckling
"Lots of candied citrus, angelica, dried sage and thyme on the nose! However, this compact and very structured dry Riesling from Alsace Grand Cru is still very young and really needs a lot of aeration (decanting and large glasses!) to open up. A stunning complexity of fruit, herbs and minerals in a big but very fresh finish. From biodynamically grown and Demeter certified grapes. Drink now, but best from 2025." James Suckling
Amélie and Charles Sparr's Riesling Grand Cru Schoenenbourg is a white wine from Alsace renowned for its elegance and complexity. From the prestigious Schoenenbourg terroir, it fully expresses the qualities of this Grand Cru with intense aromas of white-fleshed fruits, lemony notes, as well as a marked minerality. On the palate, it offers a remarkable balance between a refreshing liveliness and a rich texture, with a beautiful saline length that reflects the particularities of the marl-limestone and gypsum soil of the vineyard. This refined wine is ideal to accompany noble fish dishes, seafood or mature cheeses.
