Domaine Etienne Simonis Alsace Riesling Grand Cru Kaefferkopf

Presentation of Domaine Etienne Simonis Alsace Riesling Grand Cru Kaefferkopf

On this vintage, Etienne Simonis highlights the terroir of this Riesling Grand Cru Kaefferkopf by transcending the aromas of the grape variety thanks to the complexity and finesse of this exceptional terroir. The dress is straw colored with light gold. The nose of this Alsace Riesling Grand Cru Kaefferkopf from Domaine Etienne Simonis is very aromatic with citrus fruits, mandarin and above all a strong minerality brought by this grand cru terroir. In the mouth, we find the aromas present on the nose with great persistence which gives it an admirable length in the mouth! The tension of this wine enhances its minerality while ensuring good aging potential.
