Maison Trimbach traces back to 1626 when Jean Trimbach settled in Riquewihr and established the family wine trade. For almost 400 years, the family has been renowned for its steely, dry and mineral wines that offer true ageing potential.

Trimbach doesn’t show the name of the vineyard on the bottle nor label its wines as Grands Crus. The top wine, however, is Clos Sainte Hune from Rosacker – a single cru dominated by limestone clay. This is the quintessential Riesling. ‘It is unquestionably the finest produced in France, and can rival any Riesling produced in the world,’ asserts Robert Parker.

Frédéric Emile is another of the house’s famous Rieslings. It hails from the Grands Crus of Geisberg and Osterberg and is a mineral expression of the vineyards’ limestone terroir. Like all of Trimbach’s top wines, it is released with a minimum of 5 years’ bottle age.

The Riesling offers exceptional value and ageability. The 2012 was #49 on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 in 2014!
