Description

Overview & Provenance

The 2018 Trimbach Riesling Clos Sainte-Hune represents the gold standard of dry Riesling in Alsace. Maison Trimbach crafts this wine from a small 1.67-hectare walled parcel within the Rosacker Grand Cru. Consequently, the wine offers legendary limestone minerality, laser-sharp focus, and immense aging power.

The deep limestone terroir gives this site its signature tension and salinity. In addition, the warm 2018 vintage brought sun-ripened fruit while preserving pure mineral energy. Therefore, the wine combines immediate aromatic appeal with deep geological drive.

Tasting Profile & Sensory Character

Aromatics: First, the nose reveals white peach, fresh lime zest, and green apple. Soon after, crushed chalk, wet stone, and faint white floral scents develop in the glass.
Palate: In addition, the palate is completely bone-dry and packed with energy. Racy acidity drives flavors of Meyer lemon, salty minerality, and flint through a crisp, endless finish.

Service & Culinary Pairings

Serving Suggestions: First, serve slightly chilled at 50°F–54°F (10°C–12°C). Next, allow 30 minutes in the glass for the stony aromatics to fully blossom.

Recommended Pairings: Because of its crystalline acidity and bone-dry profile, this wine pairs best with fine seafood:

Pan-roasted sea bass with beurre blanc
Steamed lobster with drawn butter and lemon
Turbot in citrus reduction or roasted pike perch
Aged Comté or goat cheese

Collector Notes & Cellar Potential

Clos Sainte-Hune is among the most sought-after white wines in the world with tiny production. While delicious now for lovers of taut mineral white wines, this 2018 will develop incredible petrol and honeyed complexity through 2040+.
