François Baur – Clos de la Treille – Riesling 2015 – Brand Grand Cru, Alsace

The nose is aromatic, fruity and quite elegant. It reveals notes of ripe citrus (tangerine, grapefruit) and small notes of flat peach, apple associated with a hint of quince as well as discreet hints of beeswax and sweet spices / almonds. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a fine mineral frame, a beautiful juiciness, tension, elegance, a fine freshness (in the background), a beautiful roundness, a good definition, gourmandise as well as a nice straightness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy / juicy peach, kumquat and ripe citrus associated with small notes of crispy / ripe pineapple as well as small touches of lychee and beeswax / sweet spices. Good length. Good persistence.
