Description
The 2003 Riesling Clos St Hune from Domaine Trimbach is one of Alsace’s finest white wines. Produced from a one-hectare parcel within the heart of the Grand Cru Rosacker, this Riesling is renowned for its complexity and its remarkable aging potential. The Clos St Hune benefits from an exceptional terroir, with limestone soils that impart a distinct minerality to the wine. This Riesling stands out for its purity, precision, and longevity, epitomizing the essence of the grape variety and the Alsatian climate.
Blend
The 2003 Clos St Hune is composed entirely of Riesling, the emblematic grape variety of Alsace, known for its unparalleled ability to express the terroir. Grown on limestone soils, the Riesling creates a wine that is both powerful and elegant, marked by striking freshness and sustained minerality.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Pale yellow with golden highlights, clear and bright, indicating concentration and smooth evolution.
Nose: Intense and refined, with aromas of candied citrus (lemon, grapefruit), white flowers, and pronounced mineral notes of flint, typical of the limestone terroir of Rosacker.
Palate: The palate is broad and rich, with vibrant tension and perfectly balanced acidity. Ripe fruit flavors meld with mineral notes, leading to a long, saline finish. Despite the heat of the 2003 vintage, the wine retains remarkable freshness and structure.
Aging Potential
The 2003 Clos St Hune is a wine built for long aging. Although approachable now, it will continue to evolve favorably over the next 20 to 30 years. Over time, it will develop the complex petrol notes that are typical of top-quality, aged Rieslings.
Food Pairings
This elegant Riesling pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as noble fish (turbot, sole, lobster), seafood, white meats, and lightly spiced Asian cuisine. It also complements well-aged cheeses such as Comté or a dry goat cheese.
