Reviewed January 2024This classic, robust gewurz goes all out with rose-petal and litchi fruit aromas, then bold and mouth-filling flavors of grapefruit and melon. Full-bodied and lightly sweet, it's a scene stealer. Drink or hold.

Wine Advocate
Made from old vines cultivated on predominantly Keuper marl-limestone soils and only produced in the best years, the yellow-golden colored 2015 Gewurztraminer Cuvée des Seigneurs Ribeaupierre opens with an intensely aromatic and dense bouquet with medium richness and complexity. On the palate, this is a very elegant, refined and rich as well as complex and sustainable Gewurz with orange flavors on the round and elegant, well balanced and structured finish. Due to its fine tannin grip and in particular the saline and vibrantly fresh salinity, the 2015 tastes less sweet than one might fear. In fact, it is a great gastronomic wine to be matched with spicy and aromatic dishes or as a dessert itself. Mango and other tropical aromas pulsate on the stimulating aftertaste. 14% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in January 2023.(SR)

Bright pale golden yellow. Aromas of mango, grapefruit and sweet spices. Then more tropical fruit and honey in the mouth; lovely, stony freshness provides noteworthy clarity and cut. Much denser and richer than the entry-level Gewürz but also boasts better delineation thanks to greater acidity. Fantastic Gewürz in the making. Really a step up in concentration from the Réserve, this reminded me a bit of 1971’s Gewürzes. This wine won’t be sold for another four years as Trimbach is currently selling the 2008.(ID)
