2007 Trimbach "Cuvée Frédéric Émile" Riesling

Professional Reviews

Notes

95 points Jean Fisch and David Rayer for Mosel Fine Wines: "This delicate wine is all about finesse and freshness on the nose as breathtaking fresh notes of herbs, spices and white minerals emerge from the glass. A hugely focused and yet intense feel of white minerals, ripe pear and wet stone peps up the palate and leads to a lively and zesty feel in the almost razor-sharp and focused finish. The beautiful after-taste is bone dry. This wine may prove somewhat light at first but the precision, finesse and elegance are simply remarkable. In many ways, it transcends the ripeness of the vintage and behaves more like a 2008 or 2004 than a typical 2007 Riesling. What an admirable Cuvée Frédéric." (04/2017) Of the various Trimbach Rieslings, the Cuvée Frédéric Émile is among the finest. Classic, structured and very very long with layers of minerality and texture. Clean and racy with bright citrus with a salty textural core of mid fruit and balanced finish with juicy layers of acidity. With fantastic freshness throughout, this wine will remain quite young for years to come. (Eric Story, K&L Alsace Buyer)
