Wines from the steep-sloped Grand Cru vineyard of Shoenenbourg have been renown since the middle ages throughout the courts of Northern Europe. This southeast facing marlstone terroir is ideal for growing Riesling.
It is perhaps the most famous vineyard located in perhaps the most prestigious village in the region and even today, a stroll through the village confirms its place in the pantheon of historic wine villages of France.
Vinified and aged in egg-shaped concrete amphora’s made to Trapet’s specifications, this wine possesses the classic mineral-tinged lime nose leading into a wine with awesome breadth and poise. Multi-layered and tense, the beguiling flavors, which will evolve gracefully over the next 20 years, already meld beautifully with the Grand Cru structure.
