Reviewed March 2023Stunning nose of yellow peach, pomelo and fresh pineapple that pulls you into this simultaneously ripe and vibrant dry riesling. The ripe citrus flavors run right through the palate into the long finish that’s so uplifting it makes you feel good to be alive. So polished and precise.

The 2021 Riesling Cuvée Colette is from the Bonnes Terres lieu-dit just underneath the Schlossberg, on granite. The vines are between 50 and 60 years old, rooting in deeper topsoil, so there never is hydric stress. The nose is shy, allowing only an occasional flicker of citrus, but the palate comes in with lovely focus and citric verve. Lemon zest and pith frame the juicy, light-bodied flow. Lovely, light and super-refreshing. The long lemon finish is totally mouth-watering. (Bone-dry) (AK)

Seductive and subtle with a mineral undertow. Such a lot of life in this. Just gorgeous and unspittable. So long! 17/20 points (JR)

Domaine Weinbach has always provided us with moderate prices and high quality wines. Though slightly more expensive, the Cuvee Colette is still a bargain for the quality that you get. A nicely spicy nose with light neutral wood scents. Pineapple, melon and peach flavors are dominant, with minerals and spice in the background. So, so nice! A pleasure to drink.
