Domaine Trapet Alsace Riquewihr Riesling R.Q.W.R. 2020

Floral nose with tropical fruit and spice. Complex, elegant and enticing. Focused and taut palate, lively with crisp acidity. Citrus, white flower notes with a flinty minerality and bright acid framework. The dry style facilitates a mouthwatering, lifted finish.

Jean-Louis Trapet of the famous Gevrey-Chambertin domain found his counterpart in his wife, Alsatian native Andree. Another bold winemaker who inherited her family’s vines in the villages of Beblenheim and Riquewihr, Andree with her husband and children take best advantage of their native terroirs with their trailblazing natural viticulture and biodynamic farming. As in Burgundy, their Alsace vineyards are 100% Demeter certified. Trapet’s holdings include some of the top Grand Crus such as Schlossberg, Sporen, Sonnenglanz and Schoenenbourg. They work with multiple varieties including Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Auxerrois and Pinot Noir. Andree’s style tends to favor dryer wines with the emphasis on fruit purity, finesse and elegance, to accentuate their excellent terroirs.
