Crafted from fruit picked off the finest blocks of old Hugel vine at the heart of Grand Crus Schoenenbourg, source of the most distinguished Riesling wines for centuries. Selected long ago by ancient vignerons for its auspicious, steeply sloped, marl, dolomite and gypsum soils, the great philosopher Voltaire was moved to take up viticulture here. Treated to an extended term of bottle age under the Hugel estate cellars, remarkable crystalline textures, refined minerality and delectable apple ginger fruit, a respendent Riesling from the noblest Alsace vineyards.
