"Riesling de grande envergure, solaire et juteux"

robert parker 93 POINTS

"From a calcareous, wind-protected, south-facing vineyard in Mittelbergheim and from 50+-year-old vines on pure limestone soils, the 2019 Riesling Clos Eugénie opens with a highly attractive, super ripe, refined and elegant, spicy-aromatic Riesling bouquet. Aged on the lees for 12 months in foudre, this is a mouth-filling, very elegant, intensely fruity and very saline Riesling with fine and crunchy tannins and a long, intense, pure and voluptuous finish."

"A hint of petrol to the steely, limey citrus and a hint of poached pears and mineral. Generous and fresh on the palate with zingy acidity and a succulent finish."

"Le Clos Eugénie offre une carrure calcaire étoffée."

VINOUS 92 POINTS millesime 2018

"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."
