Trimbach Riesling Cuvée Frédéric Emile, Vendange Tardive 2001
Selected with intention
The 2001 Trimbach Riesling Cuvée Frédéric Emile, Vendange Tardive, is a rare and magnificent sweet wine from one of Alsace's most venerable producers. A 'Vendange Tardive' (late harvest) indicates grapes harvested at a higher ripeness level, concentrating sugars and flavors. The 2001 vintage was exceptional. This wine displays a deep golden hue and an opulent bouquet of dried apricot, honey, orange peel, and marmalade, interwoven with the classic Frédéric Emile mineral purity and a hint of petrol. On the palate, it is rich and lusciously sweet yet impeccably balanced by a vibrant, crystalline acidity that provides incredible freshness and length. The finish is remarkably long, echoing with concentrated fruit and a profound minerality.
