Grand cru limestone Riesling from Sigolsheim`s south-facing amphitheatre, one of Alsace`s oldest recorded sites. Deep, dark-gold in the glass with notes of chocolate and dried fruit giving way to riper orchard tones. The palate is commanding: taut, saline, and structurally serious, with broad tartaric acidity framed by a fine, almost tannic grip. Full-bodied and vinous rather than aromatic, this is Riesling built for the table — precise, powerful, and entirely dry. A wine for roast poultry and confident company; it holds its own against grander names without blinking.
97 Robert Parker
Reflecting the warm and dry vintage as well as the very hot vineyard, the 2015 Grand Cru Mambourg offers a clear, deep and aromatic bouquet with concentrated lemon aromas along with smoky flavors of crushed stones. Pure, fresh, super lush and ripe on the palate but still precise, finessed and elegant, this is a rich, intense and very aromatic Mambourg with a remarkably fine structure and huge aging potential. This is a fascinating assemblage of power and purity, of ripeness and mineral finesse, concentration and transparency, structure and elegance. The 2015 is simply flowing over the palate and leaves nothing but salty minerals and the association of perfectly ripe fruits on your mind. Although it drinks very well already today (for fruit wine lovers), this Mambourg will gain complexity over the years if not decades. A great Mambourg that is not yet in the market. Deiss`s Mambourg was planted with 12,000 vines per hectare, and the leaf wall is just one meter high instead of the more common 1.80 meters. The objective in this very warm cru is to have low yields with just 14% of potential alcohol but real (phenolic) maturity and good acidity. - Stephan Reinhardt (2017)
