Trimbach Clos Sainte Hune Riesling Cru Exceptionell

While the Trimbach Cuvée Frederic Emile is considered a king, this white wine from Trimbach could be considered the Emperor of Wines. One of Robert Parker's personal favorites, and that's not something you become just like that. The grapes for this wine grow on a tiny plot of just over one and a half hectares. This Rosacker vineyard in Hunwihr is named after Hune, the wife of a local nobleman in the Middle Ages. She was credited with prophetic powers and was even canonized by the Pope in 1520. This small plot is planted exclusively with Riesling vines, which are on average 50 years old. The limestone subsoil gives this wine its character. The best wine from Trimbach is this Clos Sainte Hune Riesling Cru Exceptionell Maison Trimbach's winemaking history dates back to 1626. Since then, twelve generations of winemakers have tirelessly cultivated their passion for Alsatian wines, ensuring that the wines they produce stand out for their quality and authenticity. Clos Ste Hune is a 3.75-hectare historic vineyard in the Rosacker Grand Cru, which has belonged to the Trimbach family for over two centuries. The vines, which average 50 years old, are planted on cool, calcareous soil, including the famous "Muschelkalk," with a gentle slope and a high percentage of limestone. This allows this Riesling to develop a distinctive aroma with a wonderful concentration of fruit and minerality.
