The 2020 Alsace Grand Cru Schoenenbourg Riesling "Gypse" opens with a deep and intense yet refined and elegant, pretty complex bouquet of ripe Riesling berries intertwined with saline notes. Full-bodied, elegant and with vivacious mineral drive and tension on the palate, this is a mouth-filling, intense and sustainable dry Riesling from the Schoenenbourg that reveals finesse and elegance. The finish reveals lemon-fresh aromatic notes but also the lively acidity of ripe lemon fruit. This is a remarkable 2020 Riesling from a terroir that knows how to balance the richness and power, and it's one of the winners of the vintage. Once again, this is an extraordinary Schoenenbourg from Julien Schaal.
