Wine Advocate, July 2017: Marc Kreydenweiss & Andre Kientzler

 

Congrats to Marc Kreydenweiss for their review from Wine Advocate concerning the 2015 “La Fontaine aux Enfants”. Here is the full review:

"From 25-year-old Auxerrois and Pinot Blanc vines on pure granite soils on the top of the Kastelberg, the 2015 La Fontaine Aux Enfants Cru d'Alsace opens with a pure and fresh citrus fruit aroma with crushed stones flavors. Medium to full-bodied, very fresh, pure and salty-mineral on the palate this is a ripe, lush and promising Pinot wth an almost steely, aromatically intense and juicy finish. This wine is still a baby that should develop at least for another 5-8 years in the bottle."

-90+pts, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate

Also congrats to Andre Kientzler for their reviews from Wine Advocate about :

-The 2015 “Muscat Kirchberg”. See the full review below:

"The 2015 Muscat Grand Cru Kirchberg de Ribeauvillé is based on 60-year-old Muscat Ottonel and opens deep, pure and spicy/mineral on the aromatic nose. Mouth-filling, piquant and fresh, this is a full-bodied, gorgeously aromatic and precise Muscat with salt, grip and tension. The acidity is really remarkable and the finish stimulatingly salty."

-92pts, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate

-The “Geisberg” 2014 which got the impressive score of 94 points:

"The 2014 Riesling Grand Cru Geisberg is pure and precise on the nose, dense and clear, with some minty flavors. On the palate this is a pure, cool, fresh and bone-dry Riesling with a silky texture and a lot of salt and tension. This is pure and finessed, combining the freshness and piquancy of sandstone with the silkiness and fruit of a limestone terroir. The finish is fresh and aromatic, with lots of citrus flavors and a touch of Champagne because of the citrus flavors, chalkiness and the wild, small red berries like strawberries or red cassis. This Riesling has a gorgeous finesse and definition. It is a great Riesling that will age for at least 20 years."

-94pts, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate
