Août 2022 (Millésime 2020)

A lot of riesling freaks say the grape needs stony soils, but here’s a beautiful example of how well it can do on clay-rich soil. So much citrus and peach here, even though there’s still a touch of youthful leeriness. Rich and powerful, it also has a very firm core behind the breathtaking succulence. Already great integration of concentration, fine tannins and bright acidity through the very long and complete finish. From biodynamically grown grapes.

Août 2018

A flinty, welcome cloud of reduction is still apparent on the nose, but the palate shows juicy fruit. Ripe, juicy red apple has a lime and lemon tang on a slender but concentrated body that also suggests wet stone. This wine takes time to open up but the echoing length of its lemony, stony notions is a promise for the future. The finish is appetizing and dry.

Tight and poised with sliced apples, pears and mineral undertones. Medium body. Dry and fruity. Zingy and bright.

Ian D'Agata, Avril 2018

Dark bright yellow. Ripe aromas of peach and nectarine, plus scents of medicinal herbs and wet stone. Then conveys a sweet, full impression in the mouth, where firm underlying chamomile and botanical herb nuances give shape to the fruit-driven flavors. The finish is long and clean, featuring a persistent note of chamomile. This wine fermented for a year but still wasn’t able to digest all of its sugar and so clocks in at 14 g/L (the highest residual sugar of any 2015 Riesling from Zind Humbrecht). The grapes grow on Oligocene marl that is believed to be more suited for red wine production than for white. It’s a much deeper soil than that found in many of Zind-Humbrecht’s holdings, with deep stones, and that tends to contribute to much larger, horizontal wines with noteworthy residual sweetness. This wine tastes off-dry thanks to a very low ph of 3; actually, with a pH that low, it requires that amount of residual sugar, or it would risk tasting lean and hard. It also needs 10 or 15 years in the cellar to really reach optimal drinking form, though you don’t need to wait that long to have a good time with this. In my experience, this wine tends to develop notes of petrol and diesel fuel faster than other Zind-Humbrecht Rieslings, so those of you who do not appreciate that nuance might want to drink this up on the earlier side – say, within eight years from the vintage.

2017 (Millésime 2015)

This silky white layers rapierlike acidity and smoky minerality with ripe and expressive flavors of papaya and passion fruit, pink grapefruit sorbet and Thai basil. Medium-bodied, with a long, spiced finish. Not imported into the U.S. Drink now through 2030.
