Lime zest, crisp apple and stone fruit glide over a core of chalky, saline minerality in the 2012 Trimbach Clos Ste. Hune Riesling, giving a sense of both coiled power and quiet refinement. The palate feels concentrated yet taut, driven by vivid acidity and a faint phenolic grip, finishing very long with layered citrus, gentle smokiness and a cool, stony echo that clearly reflects this limestone parcel. This is a top-class, ageworthy Clos Ste. Hune that combines density with remarkable precision.

Clos Ste. Hune is Trimbach’s iconic dry Riesling from a tiny 1.67 ha monopole within the Grand Cru Rosacker in Hunawihr, Alsace, planted with very old vines on pure Muschelkalk limestone. Produced in minute quantities and released late, it is famed for its racy acidity, pronounced, stony minerality, and extraordinary capacity to age for decades, making it one of the world’s benchmark, long-lived Rieslings.
