🏰 The 2020 Marcel Deiss Schoenenbourg Riesling Grand Cru is a powerful, deep, complex, and structured wine, yet elegant and persistently long, beautifully balanced. The Schoenenbourg site is renowned for its unique terroir, where the wine's personality is dominated more by its native soil than by its grape variety. The micro-climate, often cold and late, is conducive to slow grape maturation and frequent noble rot development. This vintage offers an extraordinary and polarizing expression, with a unique interplay of floral honey and dark earthy character. The nose is complex yet pure, revealing bitter orange, ripe apricot kernel, and black tea aromas. The palate is full-bodied, generously rich yet refined, with remarkably fine tannins and a sustainable salinity, leading to a long, dark, and mineral finish with subtle herbal notes. 🥂 This Grand Cru Riesling is an excellent choice for a special dinner, a focused tasting of Alsace Grand Crus, or for cellaring to appreciate its remarkable aging potential. 【An extraordinary and polarizing expression of the great Schoenenbourg site, showcasing a unique interplay of floral honey and dark earthy character】. 🍴 Its richness and complexity make it a superb partner for meaty and oily fish, pork, vegetarian dishes, spicy food, or cured meats. Consider pairing it with roasted duck with fruit compote or a rich Alsatian choucroute.
