Tasting Notes"Smoky and flint, this is an intensely minerally, bone-dry pinot gris. Hard to say what weight this has, because it is powerful yet so incredibly fresh. This has astonishing energy on the racy and driving finish that must be tasted to be believed. Try to be patience, because this is a ticking flavor bomb. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2027. 96 points" Stuart Piggott, jamessuckling.com |

IB | ||||
Tasting Notes"The 2023 Riesling Clos Hauserer comes from the foot of the Hengst Grand Cru on deeper, clay-rich soils atop Oligocene limestone. Slight reduction plays on the nose, blending in with subtle citrus peel hints. The palate is fresh and flowing, with a beautifully smooth midpalate texture, a touch of creaminess and a serene note of ripe Amalfi lemon. This is beautiful, smooth, balanced and bone dry with a wonderfully lip-smacking finish. (Bone-dry). Drinking Window: 2025 - 2050. 93 points" Anne Krebiehl MW , Vinous.com------"The toasty lees character and generous peachy fruit are wound around a very firm core on the medium- to full-bodied palate of this concentrated and very well-structured dry Alsace riesling. This really needs some time to open up. Very zesty and chalky finish that’s still tightly wound. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2026. 96 points" Stuart Piggott, jamessuckling.com |

Tasting Notes"The 2023 Riesling Heimbourg is from two steep parcels within this site neighboring Grand Cru Brand on iron-rich limestone from the Oligocene, a mix of limestone and sandstone with a reddish color. The parcels look west, so they get afternoon and evening light that helps ripen the skins. This has a lovely, smoky note of reduction with touches of anise and fennel seed amidst its apple and citrus notions. The 2023 is bright, brilliant and textured with a lovely phenolic crunch on its delicate structure. It is vivid, delicious and animating. (Bone-dry). Drinking Window: 2028 - 2050. 94 points" Anne Krebiehl MW , Vinous.com------"Still tightly wound, but with stunning elegance on the concentrated, medium-bodied palate, which has fabulous yellow peach aromas and refined chalkiness. Then comes the extraordinary freshness in the dynamic yet refined finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. 95 points" Stuart Piggott, jamessuckling.com |

Tasting Notes"The 2024 Gewurztraminer Clos Windsbuhl combines orange flower, rose water and smokiness on the nose. The palate is a perfect picture of pink grapefruit zest with all its spicy, tangy aromatics and vivid peach. Aromatically, this is seduction itself: tangy, taut, bright and yet so yielding, so melting, so smooth. An utterly sensuous but bone-dry Gewurztraminer that has all the allure of a perfectly aromatic pink grapefruit. (Bone-dry). 2028-2055. 96 points." Anne Krebiekl MW, Vinous.com, Jan '26 |

IB | |||||
Tasting Notes"Deep yellow colour. On the nose, this wine conveys a sense of power and firmness. Still somewhat reserved, it gently opens to reveal intense spicy aromas, ripe fruit, cured meats, and even smoke! The palate is precise and coats the mouth. The signature of the vintage is evident with a firm, juicy, and structuring acidity. The wine's power is balanced by the acidity and complex bitterness, which leads to intense salivation on the finish. Like many 2024s, decanting will be necessary in its youth. This is a great wine to enjoy with a meal." Producer's note, Jan '26 |

IB | |||||
Tasting Notes"The 2024 Gewurztraminer Rangen de Thann Clos Saint Urbain Grand Cru, from plots lower down on the slope, shimmers shyly on the nose, surrounding ripe pear with just a flutter of rose petals. The palate is beautifully clean cut, adding exquisite blood orange zest and ripeness to the white peach notions on the palate, making for a seductive, scented core. Creaminess comes in, too, sinking deeper and deeper into orange zest. The fact that this has 10.9 grams per liter of residual sugar means that the fruit notions are boosted without obvious sweetness. The balance this strikes is simply marvellous. (Dry). 2028-2060. 97 points." Anne Krebiekl MW, Vinous.com, Jan '26 |

IB | |||||
Tasting Notes"Intense pale-yellow colour. The nose is delicately aromatic, floral at first, evolving towards citrus and white fruit notes. The limestone soil of Goldert dominates the wine, which conceals its aromatic intensity behind a fine and elegant structure. The cool climate of this terroir in a late vintage is evident in the ethereal and precise palate. Moderately powerful, this wine is incredibly easy to drink and expresses a purity which is the main characteristic of this terroir. This wine strongly reminds us of the style this vineyard produced in the 1980s… wines that are sublime today." Producer's note, Jan '26 |

Tasting Notes"The 2024 Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal is grown on marl with gypsum and is rather shy on the nose. The palate is superbly light for a Pinot Gris yet imbued with a sensuous creaminess that supports bright lemon flavors. The finish is a little short but superbly clean-cut and dry.

Tasting Notes"The 2024 Pinot Gris Clos Windsbuhl is tender and restrained on the nose, showing supple citrus with an edge of ovely, tart pear. The palate is utterly strait-laced, clean-cut, bright, lemony and vivid, not at all like your usual Pinot Gris but much more linear, zestier and straighten The finish is a wonderfully pure tone of lemon.

Tasting Notes"The 2024 Pinot Gris Rangen de Thann Clos Saint Urbain Grand Cru results from tiny yields of 12 hl/ha. It comes with the merest hint of reduction. The palate, however, expands into complete juiciness that features tart red apple, lemon, grapefruit and pale peach, all framed with a gorgeous, benign bitterness that makes the mouth water. This is beauifully pearl-like in its surface and shape, smooth, supple, luminous and unimpeded. Simply gorgeous. (Bone-dry). 2028-2060. 97 points." Anne Krebiekl MW, Vinous.com, Jan '26 |

Tasting Notes"Bright pale-yellow colour. The nose is still discreet but, after opening, reveals aromas of toast, smoke, and white fruits (pear, peach, nectarine). The palate shines with its delicacy and purity. Although moderately powerful, it opens broadly across the palate with a velvety texture. The finish is all finesse with a mineral saline mouthfeel. A typical Rotenberg that will benefit from ageing." Producer's note, Jan '26 |

IB | |||||
Tasting Notes"The 2024 Riesling Brand Grand Cru comes from this warm, well-drained granitic site, trembling with flintiness on the nose. The palate is wonderfully fluid and smooth, gliding with its compact, focused but powerful body, cutting a swathe of citrus and leaving a wonderful lemony savor on its clean-cut, pure finish. Grown on granite, from the Steinglitz parcel among others, it shows a slight reductive smokiness and a touch of tart red apple skin. The palate is immediately juicy and salty, with more of that red, tart apple, full of crunch and verve, thrilling and bright, hair-raising even, exciting and full of a beautiful, sunny, vivid, lively energy, like the most delicious jolt of freshness. (Bone-dry). 2028-2060. 96 points." Anne Krebiekl MW, Vinous.com, Jan '26 |

Tasting Notes"Pale yellow colour. On the nose, this Clos Häuserer exudes a sense of mineral austerity. Still closed, it displays its chalky tension and will need a few years to fully be ready for drinking. On the palate, this wine is sharp, precise, very dry, and confirms its austerity with a lively saline finish. The cool soil of Häuserer has produced a refined, subtle wine, tight as a violin string. It will need considerable time to fully reveal its character." Producer's note, Jan '26 |

Tasting Notes"The 2024 Riesling Clos Windsbuhl hails from a secluded site on Triassic limestone. Slight flintiness on the nose leads to a palate that combines aromatic tangerine zest with tender but ripe pale peach. Everything about this is deeply cooling, deeply soothing, wonderfully heightened and so lithe, yet so concentrated and definite. This is superb and touching, the purity simply floors you.

Tasting Notes"Intense pale yellow colour. The nose is still slightly closed but very pure and precise. Minerality isn't a defining characteristic on the nose, but everything about this wine's aromas suggests minerality. The palate is delicate, ethereal, and tight. Yes, this wine will need time! The acidity is mouthwatering, pure, and commands respect. The finish is citrusy, with lovely bitterness, enhanced by the wine's very dry character." Producer's note, Jan '26 |

Tasting Notes"The 2024 Riesling Grand Cru Hengst, grown on marl and limestone, includes a densely planted parcel from 2016. Riper, fragrant citrus shimmers shyly in the glass with a touch of yeast still swinging along. The palate is rounded and juicy, carries a lovely whiff of white pepper and feels lemony, lithe, luminous and playful, always with that peppery verve. This is utterly delicious and so approachable.

Tasting Notes"The 2024 Riesling Rangen de Thann Clos Saint Urbain Grand Cru comes from the volcanic greywacke of this steep site. Wet walnut skin notions on the nose point to reduction. Underneath is crushed citrus foliage with an alluring aroma. The palate is purity, serenity, finesse and flow. The zestiness makes the mouth water while the purity and stoniness are disarming. Zestiness defines the finish of this super-fine, super-elegant expression of Rangen that is utterly firm but filigree. Wonderful. This needs time. (Bone-dry) . 2028-2060. 97 points."

Tasting Notes"The 2024 Riesling Sommer berg Grand Cru is from the well-drained granite of this steep site.

Tasting Notes"The 2024 Riesling Wineck-SchIossberg Grand Cru comes from a slightly less exposed but steep granitic site. It is shyer with its charms, but a stony, smoky note already lives in that slight reductive tremor on the nose. The palate is almost bare, almost austere, showing slight smokiness and citrus, but it has distinct fluidity, purity and a superb freshness that will carry this along. This needs time. Distant aromas like candied angelica are a promise. (Bone-dry). 2030-2060. 94 points." Anne Krebiekl MW, Vinous.com, Jan '26 |
