Trimbach: Generations of Alsatian Excellence
For generations, Trimbach has stood among the great names of Alsace, producing wines defined by precision, purity, and remarkable longevity. Based in Ribeauvillé, the family has been making wine since 1626, with its modern reputation built on a distinctive style that favors freshness, minerality, and balance over overt sweetness.
At the heart of the estate is Riesling, a grape that Trimbach captures with extraordinary clarity. The wines are defined by their tension and energy, combining citrus and stone-fruit character with a pronounced mineral edge. They are wonderfully expressive in their youth, but their greatest virtue may be their ability to evolve over time, developing layers of complexity while retaining the freshness that makes them so compelling.
For collectors, the estate’s Cuvée Frédéric Emile represents a particularly compelling opportunity. Sourced from premier sites around Ribeauvillé, it offers the concentration and structure to reward extended cellaring while remaining unmistakably Trimbach in its precision and balance.
And then there is Clos Sainte Hune, one of Alsace’s most revered Rieslings. Produced from a tiny parcel within the famed Rosacker vineyard, Clos Sainte Hune is renowned for its extraordinary longevity, intensity, and mineral complexity. Mature examples can be profound, yet the wine’s underlying energy never disappears.
Whether enjoyed alongside food today or tucked away for years to come, Trimbach Riesling offers a combination of pedig

Gewurztraminer Hors Choix SGN  Signs of Old Seepage |

| WA 96 (4/2010): The 2007 Gewurztraminer Selection de Grains Nobles Hors Choix represents a cuvee designation that the Trimbachs also utilized in 1989 and 2000 for wine of near Esszencia-like richness. Essence of rose petal along with mirabelle preserves, mint candy, and brown spices on the nose are joined on a thickly-rich palate by honey, chocolate, and white raisin. Yet for all of its richness and gaudy, candied set of flavors, this preserves a juicy sense of leavening and refreshment in a finish of extraordinary persistence, its sweetness not in the least cloying. This should be a 50 year wine. |

Pinot Gris Hommage a Jeanne |

WA 93 (12/2001): The 2000 Pinot Gris Hommage a Jeanne was produced from a selection of Trimbach's best Pinot Gris parcels (all harvested at over 15% natural potential alcohol). It sports 25 grams per liter of dry extract and 20 grams per liter of residual sugar. While at most firms this wine would merit a Vendanges Tardives bottling, the Trimbachs chose to pay homage to Jeanne Trimbach, the mother of Bernard and Hubert, who turned 100 in May 2000 and continues to drink Alsace's lovely nectars to this day. This gorgeous wine has mineral and smoke-imbued white peach aromas. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, dense, and rich. Layer after layer of apricot, poached pear, white peach, and spices can be found in its highly expressive, velvety-textured personality. It is an intensely concentrated, wonderfully balanced, fresh, and structured wine.
VM 92 (7/2001): Superripe but bright aromas of peach and honey. Very rich and honeyed; sweeter and less alcoholic than the Reserve Personnelle, and more easygoing at this early stage. Some of this fruit was picked very late, at VT weight. This very rich, long tokay makes the Reserve Personnelle seem almost riesling-like by comparison. Still, there only a moderate 19 grams/liter of residual sugar here. Stephen Tanzer. |

VM 95 (12/2006): Pale, bright yellow. Ripe pineapple, liquid stone and exotic honey on the nose, with a spicy lift that suggests an oak influence this wine does not possess. On entry, this is sweeter and creamier than the Frederic Emile, but it livens up quickly in the middle, showing powerful minerality and sharply delineated flavors of liquid stone, pineapple and citrus peel. Still, this conveys a distinctly glyceral impression that suggests more sweetness than its 5 grams of residual sugar, no doubt a function of the 20% or so botrytized berries (in contrast to the Frederic Emile, which included no botrytis). Communicates an impression of power with elegance, finishing minerally and long but not austere. Pierre Trimbach compared this wine to the estate's great 1990. This is already showing more Rosacker terroir than riesling character. About 9,000 bottles were made from 1.5 hectares of vines.
WA 94 (2/2008): The 2004 Riesling Clos Ste-Hune smells deliciously, mysteriously and complexly of grapefruit, blood orange, sassafras, mirabelle distillate, licorice, truffle, musk, lily, and chalk. Creamy and much richer on the palate than its Frederic Emile counterpart, it displays no less sheer density, stony minerality, or penetration. The finish here is truly palate staining, and as multi-faceted as the aromas. It would probably be a shame to uncork a bottle (especially given the aftermarket prices I have been seeing on these wines!) for at least a couple of more years after it is released in 2009. |

WA 93 (4/2010): Fresh lime, yellow plum, musk, and intimations of chalk dust in the nose of Trimbach’s 2006 Riesling Clos Ste-Hune usher in a strikingly fresh, firm palate possessed of meat stock and game-like animal undertones. This bottling of barely over 12.5% in alcohol is much more tightly-stitched than the corresponding Frederic Emile, and finishes with penetrating, bright length, combined with overtly crushed stone minerality. No Alsace 2006 of my experience can top this for focus, clarity, or long-term (I would estimate 12-15 years’) aging potential, although the Frederic Emile is in its very different way more striking, as well as more fun to drink now.
VM 91 (12/2008): Good bright, pale yellow. Sexy aromas of pineapple, mint and crushed stone; seems purer than the Frederic Emile. Then more pristine in the mouth as well, with little sign of botrytis to the citrus, stone and mineral flavors. Fatter than the Fred. Finishes broad, juicy and quite dry, with light resiny and fusel hints. A lovely 2006 riesling. |

| VM 93 (11/2012): Deeper pale green than the Frederic Emile. Very spicy aromas of green apple, chlorophyll and thyme. Enters with lime and green apple notes, then turns riper and richer in the middle, showing more exotic banana and passion fruit qualities with air. Finishes very fleshy, saline and long. This is bigger but not obviously better than the 2011 Frederic Emile and struck me as a rather salty, chunky version of CSH. Ian d'Agata. |

| WA 93+ (3/2024): The bright-colored 2018 Clos Ste Hune Riesling shows an intense and very concentrated bouquet of ripe fruits and crushed stones. Muschelkalk limestone dominates the palate, which reveals a powerful, dense and still quite bitter Riesling whose compact phenols still cage this dormant Riesling on a stony and saline bed. The finish, however is very potent and long. A bigger glass and more time probably would have helped the wine significantly, because I believe it's greater than this score is suggesting. 13.3% stated alcohol plus four grams per liter of residual sugar. Tasted at the domaine in May 2022. |

VM 96 (4/2023): The 2020 Riesling Clos Saint Hune is from a 1.6-hectare parcel within the Rosacker Grand Cru. The nose is still smoky, earthy and gives hints of Mirabelle skin. The palate has an immediate smoothness, a lovely note of both fresh and baked Mirabelle, bringing out the stone fruit charm that, for now, plays above the essential stoniness and concentration. The fruity charm belies the essential and cool depth of the site, the profound stoniness and the beautiful, supremely balanced texture. The finish is salty, concentrated and zesty. A picture of balance. (Bone-dry) (Drink between 2030-2060). Anne Krebiehl.
WA 93+ (3/2023): The 2020 Clos Ste Hune Riesling opens with a clear and intense, clove-spicy, herbal and delicate nose of ripe and concentrated yet juicy Riesling berries. Juicy yet concentrated, this is a powerful, enormously dense, tight and persistently saline, monstrous Riesling from Hunawihr's most prestigious vineyard that is located in the Rosacker yet never marketed as grand cru. The 2020 should improve with further bottle age during the years prior to its release. This has 13.8% stated alcohol and 3.4 grams per liter of unfermented sugar. Tasted at the domaine in May 2022. |

VM 93+ (2/2016): Vivid straw-green. Penetrating mineral and lemon notes complement green apple and jasmine on the nose. Fresh and clean on the palate, offering pure flavors of wet stone and orchard fruits. The finish is long and crystalline. This wine is a first for Trimbach, as the estate had never produced a wine from the Schlossberg. Moreover, Trimbach was long opposed to labeling wines with grand cru names, only relenting in recent years. This Riesling is made from an especially high-quality two-hectare plot (of which only 1.6 is planted) situated in the heart of the Schlossberg grand cru, just above the castle. Trimbach bought the vineyard in 2012 but did not bottle a 2012 or 2013. (Drink between 2020-2034). Ian D'Agata.
WA 91 (6/2017): The 2014 Grand Cru Schlossberg Riesling (the first vintage the Trimbachs have produces in this cru) opens with a clear, dense, complex and lemony-flavored, finessed and pure nose of great delicacy. Very pure, but intense and mineral, this is a concentrated and stony, mineral Riesling, full of finesse, salt and tension. Complex, fresh and promising, with good tannin grip. Pretty closed and austere at the moment. |

| WA 93 (6/2017): The 2015 Grand Cru Schlossberg Riesling is only the second vintage (after 2014) and comes from a plot straight above the castle of Kaysersberg and below the forest that was planted 35 years ago. The wine opens with a very clear, fresh and cool bouquet, indicating lovely, concentrated, precise and fresh fruit. On the palate, this is a highly elegant, pure, rich, intense but lifted and finessed Riesling à la Trimbach, with fine but concentrated fruit, good acidity and a lingering salinity. It is a cool-climate Riesling coming from a higher and cooler plot in this prestigious, south-facing cru, which was perfect in a warm vintage like 2015. In fact, the 2015 is a great, dry, granite Riesling that was harvested with just 35 hl/ha and has a total acidity of 8.6 grams per liter! Total production: 3,500+ bottles. |
