M. Chapoutier Lieu Dit D’Alsace Riesling 2018 750ml

This wine is brilliant and limpid, with a gorgeous golden yellow hue and green accents. This Alsace wine’s powerful and expressive nose perfectly reflects its terroir. The exotic fruit fragrances (pineapple, mango) represent the sunny nature of the south-facing slope and are mixed with mineral overtones from white flowers. The attack is forceful, accurate, and juicy. The palate radiates the terroir’s schistose character, with brilliant fruit, superb acidity, and a faint iodine finish. Best paired with seafood dishes and tropical fruits.

M. Chapoutier, founded in 1808 in Tain-L’Hermitage, is now regarded as an elite reference for exquisite Rhône Valley wines.
