Note di degustazione
The 2015 Riesling Cuvée Colette is from the bottom of the Schlossberg and is grown on a more sandy soil. The wine displays a very clear and elegant bouquet of bright and fresh fruits intertwined with discreet flinty flavors. Round, piquant and elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, intense, lush and well-structured Riesling; it has a fully ripe and concentrated fruit, well-dosed power and a very good tannin grip. It is still a bit reductive and tight, but indicates an excellent ageing potential. The Cuvée Colette was named Cuvée Catherine until the 2013 vintage. "It is a tribute to her, although she always refused it during her lifetime," says Catherine Faller. The wine was bottled with 13.67% alcohol and 5.95 grams of sweetness, but tastes drier than the Cuvée Theo.

Some granite here and 60-year-old vines at the bottom of the Schlossberg. A little less limey than the Cuvée Theo. A little more spice. Riper too but the acidity is super-crisp to balance. Deep and long. (JH)
From the bottom of the slope. Exotically perfumed – lilies? Masses of flavour here – just rammed in! Such a charmer. Great depths for future development but already gorgeous. So long! Fantastic balance. (JR)
