(91 - 93) Form underneath the Grand Cru Hengst and oligocene limestone with active calcium carbonate, the sample off the 2017 Alsace Riesling Clos Häuserer de Wintzenheim was not yet fully fermented to dry but offers a clear and tart grapefruit flavor. Fascinatingly pure and chalky-mineral on the palate, with a powdery texture and lovely grapefruit and lemon flavors, this is a concentrated, substantial and very long Riesling with very fine tannins. A gorgeous, impressive Clos on its way to dry. Tasted October 2018. No Turckheim Riesling was produced in 2017.- SR

Intense and racy, this mouthwatering, light- to medium-bodied white offers a fine, tightly knit range of nectarine, pink grapefruit granita, herb and grated ginger flavors, layered with a minerally overtone of petrol and smoke. Bright and expressive, with the lively flavors echoing on the lasting finish. Drink now through 2030. — A.N.
