F.E. Trimbach, Riesling “Cuvée Frédéric Émile” Vendange Tardive

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) is 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.

France

Bourgogne

Beaujolais

Enjoying the greatest wines of Beaujolais starts, as it usually does, with the lay of the land. In Beaujolais, 10 localities have been given their own AOC (Appellation of Controlled Origin) designation. They are: Saint Amour; Juliénas; Chénas; Moulin-à Vent; Fleurie; Chiroubles; Morgon; Régnié; Côte de Brouilly; and Brouilly.

Southwestern France

Bordeaux

Bordeaux surrounds two rivers, the Dordogne and Garonne, which intersect north of the city of Bordeaux to form the Gironde Estuary, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The region is at the 45th parallel (California’s Napa Valley is at the38th), with a mild, Atlantic-influenced climate enabling the maturation of late-ripening varieties.

Central France

Loire Valley

The Loire is France’s longest river (634 miles), originating in the southerly Cévennes Mountains, flowing north towards Paris, then curving westward and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. The Loire and its tributaries cover a huge swath of central France, with most of the wine appellations on an east-west stretch at47 degrees north (the same latitude as Burgundy).

Northeastern France

Alsace

Alsace, in Northeastern France, is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world, with vineyards running from the foothills of theVosges Mountains down to the Rhine River Valley below.
