Description

Overview & Provenance

The 2017 Trimbach Riesling Clos Sainte-Hune is a benchmark dry white wine celebrated for its precision. Sourced entirely from a 1.67-hectare plot in Hunawihr, this historic wine expresses pure Muschelkalk limestone soils. As a result, it exhibits extraordinary focus and structural tension.

The 2017 vintage in Alsace favored cool-climate purity, high acidity, and aromatic detail. In addition, Maison Trimbach holds this wine in their cellars for years before release. Therefore, this bottling arrives with classic dry authority and superb cellar pedigree.

Tasting Profile & Sensory Character

Aromatics: First, aromas of lemon oil, white flowers, and crisp pear lead the bouquet. Soon after, deep mineral notes of wet slate, diesel, and iodine take center stage.
Palate: In addition, the palate strikes with vibrant citrus fruit and piercing acidity. Saline minerals and crushed shells coat the tongue, creating a dry and chiselled finish.

Service & Culinary Pairings

Serving Suggestions: First, pour at 50°F–54°F (10°C–12°C). Next, decant 30 minutes before serving to awaken its tight mineral core.

Recommended Pairings: Because of its high acidity and salty finish, this dry Riesling pairs seamlessly with delicate seafood:

Raw oysters or sea urchin (uni)
Seared sea scallops with lemon-caper reduction
Classic roasted Dover sole meunière
Traditional Alsatian choucroute garnie

Collector Notes & Cellar Potential

The 2017 Clos Sainte-Hune is a legendary vintage for long-term cellaring. You can enjoy its laser-like purity today, but it holds the balance to age gracefully through 2042+.
