| VM 97+ (3/2017): Bright golden-tinged straw-yellow. Enticing nose of yellow apple, mirabelle, crystallized ginger and white flowers, complicated by lemony minerality. Dense, fresh and juicy, displaying outstanding sugar-acid balance and an opulent mouthfeel that is nicely lifted by penetrating notes of mirabelle, lime, wet stones, lemon peel and almond. While this enters sweet, it finishes very clean and dry. Boasts one of the most fragrant, prettiest and most forward noses I recall in a young CSH. Ian d'Agata. |

| 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. |

Riesling Cuvee Colette |

VM 92 (3/2017): Bright straw. Exotic fruit notes of pineapple and papaya on the nose, plus a higher-pitched lime element. Then sweet and dense but juicy and energetic in the mouth, offering very good cut and spicy elements. Really spreads out to coat the entire palate. Finishes long and aromatic, without the youthfully chewy impression of the Schlossberg Riesling. In fact, this is not surprising, as it’s made from vines grown on the bottom of the Grand Cru, which is sandier and has a good presence of degraded granite, which tends to give wines that are rounder and more exuberant (just like Colette herself) than those picked from the Schlossberg’s higher sections. These vines are 45 years old on average (not 35 as I wrote last year). Readers should note that up to and including the 2013 vintage, this wine used to be called the Riesling Cuvée Sainte Catherine (without the “Schlossberg”). (Drink between 2020-2032). Ian D'Agata.
WA 91 (3/2017): The 2015 Riesling Cuvée Colette is from the bottom of the Schlossberg and is grown on a more sandy soil. The wine displays a very clear and elegant bouquet of bright and fresh fruits intertwined with discreet flinty flavors. Round, piquant and elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, intense, lush and well-structured Riesling; it has a fully ripe and concentrated fruit, well-dosed power and a very good tannin grip. It is still a bit reductive and tight, but indicates an excellent ageing potential. The Cuvée Colette was named Cuvée Catherine until the 2013 vintage. "It is a tribute to her, although she always refused it during her lifetime," says Catherine Faller. The wine was bottled with 13.67% alcohol and 5.95 grams of sweetness, but tastes drier than the Cuvée Theo. |
