VINOUS : 92 POINTS

"The 2018 Riesling Clos Eugenie is harvested in the garden of the brothers'; Boeckel's great-grandmother, dedicated to her and planted to Riesling. Despite the south-facing aspect, the site benefits from north winds, so while always ripe, it retains acidity. This is from 50-55-year-old vines fermented and aged in foudre on limestone soil. The nose has a chamomile and yarrow lift. The palate is concentrated, but in this hot year, freshness still triumphs. An elixir-like Riesling of immense freshness, herbal savor and balm-like texture."

Wine Enthusiast : 93 points (millesime 2017)

"Russet-pear peel and tangerine zest almost have a salty edge on the nose. The concentrated palate is slender but packs a punch of juicy pear fruit and streamlined, zesty freshness. A spicy grapefruit edge lingers in the background, tingling with saltiness all the way to the dry finish. Drink until 2030."
