Riesling Vieilles Vignes 2022 - Domaine Trimbach

Riesling Vieilles Vignes 2022 - Domaine Trimbach

95/100 James Suckling

This dry Riesling reveals generous aromas of ripe mirabelle plum, quince and peach, offering a full, juicy mouthfeel.Its sensual texture is perfectly balanced by remarkable purity and precision.Despite a hot, dry vintage, it retains a beautiful freshness and a structure of great finesse.

On the palate, the depth is impressive, leading to a long, crystalline, brilliant finish, the signature of old vines. Made from a blend of grapes from the Hunawihr, Ribeauvillé and Bergheim terroirs, including several parcels classified as Grand Cru, this wine brilliantly expresses the richness and complexity of Alsace's great terroirs.

A Riesling to be enjoyed as soon as it's released, but which will also evolve elegantly over the years.
