2016 Trimbach Riesling Cuvee Frederic Emile

This Trimbach is named after Frédéric Emile, who became famous for offering a new guarantee of quality and authenticity to Trimbach in 1898. The average age of the vines, 45 years, results in limited yields.

The south- and southeast-facing terroirs of Ribeauvillé and the Grand Crus of Geisberg and Osterberg, which overlook the winery, have been producing this wine for several generations. It was Trimbach's choice in the 1970s not to list the Grand Cru on the label.

Today, Cuvee Frederic Emile is considered a benchmark for Grand Crus Riesling and is Trimbach's signature wine.

The average age of the vines, 45 years, results in limited yields. The composition of the marl-limestone-sandstone and fossil-mottled muschelkalk of the terroir, as well as the beautifully ripe grapes selected and harvested at the end of October, give this wine a remarkable personality: a dry and powerful Riesling, underlined by a mineral note and firm ripe acidity. This prestigious house wine, the "Cuvée Frédéric Emile", is highly appreciated by connoisseurs and collectors, especially because they can age well for at least thirty years and more. 94+/100 Parker and 96/100 Suckling.
