"Zind-Humbrecht is one of the most famous domaines in Alsace – deservedly so ... No matter what variety, the expressions are layered and pure."
- Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous
Just landed in stock, we have a thrilling range of 2022s from one of France's benchmark domaines. Zind-Humbrecht is unquestionably one of the three most iconic domaines in Alsace, routinely racking up huge press and glowing accolades up and down their comprehensive line-up.
As expected, the 2022s show out in fine form, the warm vintage balanced by Pierre-Emile Humbrecht's highly finessed winemaking. The domaine's exquisite terroirs all acquit themselves with extraordinary class and precision, starting wth the Roche series, which are simply declassified younger vines in the domaine's priceless Grand Cru holdings. The 2022 Roche Granitique Riesling, from the Brand Grand Cru, is "fresh, wonderfully stony, zesty, streamlined and pervasive," while the Roche Volcanique Pinot Gris, from the Rangen Grand Cru, is "an exceptionally expressive pinot gris that has nothing to do with the regular wines from this grape variety in Alsace."
Of course, for anyone seeking the apex of Alsace, the grands crus are the only way to go. The 99-point Riesling Brand Grand Cru is "a great masterpiece of finesse ... that marries breathtaking stone fruit aromas with an incredible freshness to create an overwhelmingly elegant and cool whole." Likewise, the domaine's iconic Clos St-Urbain in the Rangen Grand Cru achieved elite status in 2022. Wine Advocate's Stephan Reinhardt writes in his 99-point review, "this is a dense, highly complex and energetic Saint-Urbain that somehow combines the purity of Dönnhoff's Hermannshöhle with the concentration, power and mineral complexity of the magnesium-rich Rangen." There you have it – a pinnacle expression in league with the best Rieslings from anywhere in the world.
These are just a few highlights from a truly stellar range of timeless classics that astute collectors will be thrilled to own in the years to come. |
