Description
The 2017 Riesling Furstentum Grand Cru from Domaine Paul Blanck is an exceptional wine from one of Alsace’s most prestigious terroirs. The Grand Cru Furstentum, with its marl-limestone soils and ideal sun exposure, gives Riesling remarkable aromatic intensity and structure.
Renowned for producing rich, powerful wines with beautiful acidity, the Furstentum Grand Cru shines in the 2017 vintage, which saw optimal ripening conditions during a warm year. The result is a Riesling of great complexity, marked by freshness and a distinctive minerality.
Blend
This wine is made entirely from Riesling, Alsace’s emblematic grape variety. Here, it expresses itself with precision, thanks to the terroir that enhances its minerality and its impressive aging potential.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Bright, clear, and golden-hued, with a pale yellow tint.
Nose: Very expressive, offering aromas of white fruits such as pear and lemon, along with floral notes of white flowers and distinctive mineral touches characteristic of marl-limestone soils.
Palate: The wine opens with a lively, refreshing attack. The palate is marked by beautiful tension and well-integrated acidity. Flavors of white-fleshed fruits, citrus, and wet stone come through, delivering impressive precision and a long-lasting finish.
Aging Potential
This Riesling Grand Cru Furstentum has an excellent aging potential, capable of evolving over 10 to 20 years. As it ages, the wine will develop more complex notes of honey, candied fruits, and a subtle petrol aroma, while maintaining its vivacity.
Food Pairings
This Riesling pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as shellfish, fish with sauces, or white meats. It is also a fantastic choice for Asian cuisine, such as sushi or spicy dishes, thanks to its balance between acidity and rich aromatics.
