Description

I adore the Kirschberg’s sense of “goldilocks mean”, just right sense of sneaky balance and finesse.  It has all things mineral power, silky fruit, white floral intensity, and just a dazzling dance of Grand cru class and complexity that is my cup of tea and then some.  A little * awarded here.  Get what you can justify and thank me later…..
“Such a deep nose of lemon curd and fresh sage with just a hint of melted butter. Powerful and highly structured on the full-bodied but super-clean palate, this has stunning mineral intensity that builds and builds at the very sharply defined finish. Drink or hold.” 96 Stuart Piggot, chosen as one of the James Suckling Top 100 Wines of the Year
95 Revue du Vin de France
“Fine and delicate notes of sweet almonds and dried flowers, an elegant and savory palate, but without the energy of the magnificent Geisberg but very close nonetheless.” 95 Bettane et Desseauve
