2020 l'Octavin Le Roi des Cépages M
WINEMAKER: Alice Bouvot
REGION: Jura/Alsace, FR
VARIETAL: Riesling
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
"Riesling grown by Philippe Brand in Ergersheim, Alsace. This spent five weeks on the skins as whole bunches, before being pressed off to cuve until May. There is a beautiful density to the citrus fruit on display here, which is framed by perfectly judged, powdery tannins. Very much a Riesling for the table, it would be wonderful alongside a classic Alsatian choucroute." - Tutto
