Description:

'If there is one Riesling in the world that every wine lover dreams of tasting and savoring, it is the Clos Sainte Hune...", Serge Dubs, Best Sommelier of the World 1989.

For many lovers of great whites, it is true that Clos Sainte Hune is a dream and is one of the greatest, rare and majestic white wines in the world.

Pierre Trimbach, our distinguished winemaker since 1979, positions this Riesling as our great white wine with an incredible minerality, perfect balance and endless length, simply because it comes from an exceptional parcel.

Since 1626, the Trimbach family have been a reference point for fine Alsace wine. They are also one of the largest owners of Grand Cru vineyards in the region which account for an impressive third of their total production. At every level, their wines embody the celebrated Trimbach style: structured, long-lived, fruit-driven, dry, elegant, and above all balanced. Family is also central to everyday life at Trimbach. Winemaking is expertly managed by 12th-generation Pierre, alongside his nephew Julien.  Pierre’s brother, Jean, and Pierre’s daughter Anne, the eldest of the 13th generation, are global brand ambassadors. In 2023, Trimbach was certified HVE-3 Organic reflecting their dedication to creating the highest-caliber expressions of their terroir.

Tasting Note:   Riesling Clos Ste Hune is deep and intense on the very generous yet refined and elegant, rich and lemon-scented nose that indicates enormous richness. It's very harmonious. Full-bodied, very intense and concentrated yet also vital and full of tension, this is a very rich and powerful yet elegant und utterly mineral CSH that combines great finesse and salinity with power and substance. This is a giant. 14.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork.
