Chardonnay from the greatest Grand Cru vineyards of Burgundy may command more dollars, but dry Rieslings from exalted Alsace Grand Crus like “Rosacker” (where Trimbach’s “Clos Ste. Hune” is situated) cede nothing in terms of pedigree, longevity, and utter deliciousness. The “rain shadow” effect of the nearby Vosges Mountains helps moderate rainfall and ensure a slow, even maturation cycle for Riesling that epitomizes the power, energy, and exotic aromatic profile that characterizes the very best of Alsace. Incredible purity of fruit and a profound mineral imprint define this incredibly well-priced cellar cornerstone, year in and year out. It’s simply one of the most detailed, definitive white wines you’ll ever have the pleasure to taste—and yes, it ages for decades with ease!
