DOMAINE

A real down to

A joy to visit and they make great wines at very affordable prices too!
2002 was a great vintage at this domaine.
Our hot-tip for value for

Pinot Blanc
Reserve
ST -
Aromas of orange zest,
flowers and honey. Fat in the mouth, with a slight botrytis-induced
viscosity balanced by firm acidity. Offers good palate presence and
finishes with firm grip. |

A good 'drinker'.
Ready now, but will improve. |

Riesling
Cuvee Theo
RP -
Produced from the
famous Clos des Capucins that surrounds the Faller's beautiful home as
well as the winery, the lemon and mineral-scented 2000 Riesling Cuvee
Theo is an intense, extracted wine of enormous finesse. Light to
medium-bodied, it reveals flavours reminiscent of minerals awash in
lemons. |

Riesling
Schlossberg GC
Cuvee Catherine
ST -
Very spicy aromas of
orange peel, apricot pit, ginger and wet stone, with a minty high note.
Spicy, rich and full, with hints of exotic fruit supported by firm mineral
spine. This offers lovely purity and grip, finishing with a drier
impression than the 2001. |

An excellent vintage, which needs cellaring to get the best out of it.

DOMAINE
ZIND HUMBRECHT
This estate is
considered to be one of the best in France by Robert Parker. The wines
here are very pure and profound, and will repay the purchaser with
cellaring - as they will only improve with age! |

Riesling
Herrenweg
RP -
Crisp apples are intermingled
with smoky botrytis scents in the nose of the 2000 Riesling Herrenweg de
Turckheim. A broad, pulp-laden, medium-bodied wine, it bastes the palate
with loads of juicy pears, chamomile, linden, and minerals. Concentrated
and powerful, it also possesses an exceptionally long, pure finish.
Projected maturity: 2004-2012.
Olivier Humbrecht describes 2000 as "a year of excellent ripeness where
the key to success was sorting out the bad rot prior to harvesting."
