"Domaine Weinbach is an iconic domaine ... The wines are amongst the most elegant and poised in Alsace. They are paradigms of varietal expression and age effortlessly." - Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous
For four generations, Domaine Weinbach has stood as a standard bearer for Alsace's finest expressions, producing universally acclaimed wines that have few equals in the region or anywhere in France for that matter. Winemaker Eddy Leiber-Faller now helms this treasured estate along with his brother Théo, carrying on the remarkable legacy laid down by their grandmother, mother, and aunt.
We've just secured a parcel of some of their latest stunning releases, which have already garnered big press from bothWine Advocateand James Suckling's Alsace critic Stuart Pigott. Leading off, the 2022 Riesling Cuvée Colette carries unimpeachable grand cru pedigree – after all, it hails from old vines at the bottom of the Schlossberg grand cru, one of the most hallowed sites in the region that produces some its most sought-after wines. Notching 95 points from James Suckling and an additional 93 points fromWine Advocate, the 2022 Colette is a "very pure ... elegant and stunningly precise" rendition that presents all the best characteristics of the dry Riesling style in the hands of one of Alsace's most revered domaines. Likewise, the JS94 Riesling Cuvée Théo posseses "Stunning balance and finesse" according to Pigott, making it an ideal introduction to the Weinbach style.
Riesling isn't the only noble varietal that thrives in the hands of the Faller family. The 2022 Pinot Gris Caracoles boasts "superb balance" resulting in a 94-point wine that "has a gracefulness that is really delightful ... with fantastic textural complexity," while the 93-point 2022 Gewürztraminer Treilles du Loup, from a rare parcel with granitic soils, is "an extraordinarily fine and fresh wine for this grape variety" per Pigott, carrying its 10g/l of residual sweetness with grace and aplomb.
If you're already a fan of this treasured domaine, you'll want to jump on this opportunity while you can, and if you haven't yet gotten acquainted with them, now is the time – our market-best pricing is the perfect excuse to add these surefire winners from one of the wine world's greatest names to your collection.
This dry pinot gris has a wonderfully ripe melon nose with a thread of floral honey running through it, but no hint of the opulence that’s so often associated with those aromas in Alsace. In fact, the wine has a gracefulness that is really delightful. Long finish with fantastic textural complexity. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.
94 points, Stuart Pigott, James Suckling (May 2024)
