To complement its incredible “Clos Ste. Hune” bottling (sourced from the “Rosacker” Grand Cru), the legendary Trimbach estate produces another other-worldly Riesling cuvée, “Cuvée Frédéric Emile.” This bottling, most famous in dry form but also made in late-harvest sweet styles when vintage conditions allow, hails from the Grand Cru “Geisberg” and “Osterberg” vineyards. The combination of explosive fruit and profound earthiness (especially with some age) in nearly unparalleled in the world of Riesling—and you’ll be amazed by how much freshness and electricity the sweet styles maintain. These are white wine benchmarks any collector would be proud to have in his/her cellar.
