🏰news | features + short tasting note IN ENGLISH 【A gastronomic white wine of immense complexity and power, the 2016 Marcel Deiss Mambourg Grand Cru, though labeled Riesling, embodies Deiss's philosophy of terroir-driven field blends from a great early ripening site.】 Marcel Deiss is renowned for his unique approach in Alsace, co-fermenting multiple grape varieties from Grand Cru vineyards like Mambourg, which dominates Sigolsheim with its south-facing slopes. The 2016 vintage, despite early picking, achieved optimal ripeness with retained acidity. This wine presents a very complex nose with ripe, rich aromas of spiced pears, apple pastry, honey, caramel, dried fruit, lime, and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it's very rich, broad, and silky, yet light on its feet, with a concentrated array of pears and peaches, harmonious acidity, and spicy, smoky nuances. It's a dry wine with good acidity, pure "liquid minerality," and stone fruit flavors, built for decades of aging. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing various types of suggestion east or west corresponding to wine cost IN ENGLISH This powerful Grand Cru white is a fantastic match for Cantonese roasted suckling pig, where its richness can stand up to the fatty skin, or steamed crab with glutinous rice. For Western cuisine, consider noble poultry like roasted capon or guinea fowl, pan-seared foie gras, or rich, creamy seafood dishes. It also pairs exceptionally well with duck, goose, and game birds. 🥂 fit for event suggestion IN ENGLISH An outstanding choice for a grand gastronomic experience, a formal dinner, or a serious wine tasting. This wine is still very young and has the backbone to improve over a few decades, making it an excellent candidate for long-term cellaring. If drinking now, consider decanting for an hour or two. Serve chilled at 12-14°C.
