"A 30-minute drive from Andlau, Maison Trimbach in Ribeauvillé – also established in the 17th century – has long been recognised as a top producer. Its wines are better than ever, from entry-level offerings to the only Alsace wine that’s appreciated just as much for investment on international markets as for drinking – the Clos Ste Hune Riesling […] Try the Cuvée Frédéric Emile Riesling, crafted from two grand cru vineyards – an excellent-value dry wine. Although it initially established its fame through strong brands, Trimbach also boasts four single-vineyard grand cru wines."

James Suckling, December 2024 (Vintage 2018)
A super-elegant dry riesling for the hot and dry 2018 vintage! Brimming with kafir-lime, mirabelle-plum and dried-mint aromas. Great underplayed power on the medium- to full-bodied palate. The concentration seems to build with the chalky minerality at the overwhelming finish! From organically grown grapes.

James Suckling, May 2024 (Vintage 2023)
The generous nose of this remarkable Alsace sylvaner reminds me of nutty old-fashioned apple varieties and some herbal delicacy. For a grape variety often assumed to be simple and rustic, it has both impressive concentration and some real elegance on the medium-bodied palate. Long, cool, herbal finish. From almost one hectare of 40- to 50-year-old vines. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Vinous, January 2025 (Vintage 2023)
The 2023 Riesling is the house's biggest production. Depending on the vintage, up to 400,000 bottles are made, blended from sites across Alsace, including grand cru fruit. The nose is a marvel of crunchy green and red apple aromas. It's scented but tenderly so, promising tons of crunch and freshness. The palate delivers this in spades with vivacious freshness and verve on a light, strait-laced and clean-cut bottle—the emblematic house style. The 2023 is beautifully dry and bright with a lip-smacking, lemon-infused finish. (Bone-dry)

About TRIMBACH
The Trimbach family has a long and storied history in Alsace. Growers since the 17th century the estate is now in the hands of its 12th generation, where brothers Pierre and Jean Trimbach run the day to day operations. Pierre has been responsible for the vineyards and winemaking since 1985 and Jean has served as Trimbach’s global Ambassador responsible for sales from that same year; tirelessly travelling the globe to promote both Trimbach and Alsatian wine as a whole.
There is a plurality of styles in Alsace which is sometimes simplified to a dichotomy of “Dry” versus “Opulent” or some might say sweet. Trimbach falls firmly in, and may very well be the benchmark producer of the “Dry” camp. That said the Trimbach style is about much more than being dry. Pierre finds the notion that one could use “dryness” or an absence of sugar as a sign of quality to be reductive and simplistic. The key is balance. The Trimbach style is to make elegant, structured, beautifully balanced wines that just happen to be both dry and full of fruit. These wines are capable of long aging due to the combination of great sites, exceptional farming and judicious, thoughtful winemaking.
The quality of the wines has garnered the estate almost universal acclaim. The lengthy list of achievements include claiming a spot on the wine lists of every single Michelin 3-star restaurant in France. Pierre Trimbach was named one of the Top 10 White Wine Producers in the world by Decanter Magazine in 2006, and in 2016, was elected as one of the 10 Masters of Riesling in the world by Michel Bettane, a top French wine journalist (Bettane & Desseauve Guide). Anne Trimbach, who bears the title La Madone du Riesling, was also elected as one of the 200 most influential wine personalities in December 2015 by La Revue du Vin de France.
