Note di degustazione
The 2012 Riesling Clos Ste Hune is deep, generous, precise and salty with a typical nose reminiscent of limestone. Dense and very salty on the palate, this is a powerful yet elegant, round and complex Clos Sainte Hune with enormous mineral expression, which lends energy, class, vibration and tension to the sheer power. It was bottled with six grams per liter of residual sugar. Tasted from the magnum at the Auberge de l'Ill in November 2024.

The combination of this wine’s smoky personality, northerly freshness and incredible vitality for 12 years of age make it extraordinary. Sleek and racy, but with restrained power and a very long and serene finish. Served from magnum. Drink or hold.
Magnum. Fine and mineral and at a perfect point to drink now. Cool, sleek and fresh. Jean Trimbach calls it ‘the serene vintage’ and says it has always been like that.
The 2012 Riesling Clos Sainte Hune is brilliant, with that incredible sense of minerality that only Riesling can provide as well as awesome crushed citrus, lychee, wood smoke, and salty nuances all soaring from the glass. It’s a rich, powerful wine that has plenty of concentration and mid-palate depth, yet it still has laser-like precision on the palate. It’s a magical Riesling to enjoy any time over the coming two decades or more.
