Marc Kreydenweiss 2003 Grand Cru Kastelberg Riesling (Alsace)
-
$69
This Andlau vineyard has been planted since Roman times, making it one of the oldest vineyards in Alsace. It’s famed for Rieslings, and this wine shows why. It is full-bodied, but still hows some raciness and ripe acidity. At this stage, this great wine is still very young, but it has the potential to age for up to 20 years. Imported by Wilson Daniels Ltd.

Marc Kreydenweiss 2001 Grand Cru Moenchberg Le Moine Tokay Pinot Gris (Alsace)
Stunningly beautiful. Decadently rich and flamboyant, with its peach, honeysuckle, apricot, wildflower, vanilla and smoke aromas and flavors. Rich and sweet as honey, yet this wine is fully dry and quite crisp with acidity. Exquisite concentration, with the weight and density of a Grand Cru.

Marc Kreydenweiss 2001 Andlau Riesling (Alsace)
-
$20
An amazing wine that opens with huge aromas of honeysuckle, peach, lime zest, pie crust, creme brulee, vanilla and smoke. Big, rich and persistant in the mouth, with peach and citrus flavors that go on and on, underscored by searing acidity. Built for aging.

Marc Kreydenweiss 2001 Les Charmes Pinot Blanc (Alsace)
Rich, thick and unctuous, a superb wine whose acidity makes it ideal for cellaring, if you wish. In its youth, it drinks tight and steely, with intense, nervy flavors of citrus fruits and roasted hazelnut. The finish is long and honeyed.
