Trimbach Cuvee Frederic Emile 2014, Alsace, France

A truly great wine!

Exposed south and south-east, the Grands Crus Geisberg and Osterberg terroirs of Ribeauvillé which overlook the estate have given birth to this wine for several generations.

 The average age of the vines, around 45 years, offers limited yields.

 The marl-limestone-sandstone and shell limestone composition of the terroir (Muschelkalk), as well as the well-ripened grapes strictly selected by hand, give this wine a remarkable personality: a dry and powerful Riesling, underlined by a mineral note and with finely chopped acidity.

Prestigious signature of the house, the Frédéric Emile, often nicknamed FE or Freddie, is sought after by connoisseurs and collectors.

Pairings : great gastronomy, noble fish, caviar, fine white meats.

 Aging potential : the great vintages of Frédéric Emile mature for twenty years or more.
