It is our Signature wine. The average age of the vines, 45 years, results in limited yields. The marl-limestone-sandstone and fossil-flecked Muschelkalk composition of the terroir, as well as the beautifully ripe grapes selected and harvested at the end of October lend this wine a remarkable personality: a dry and powerful Riesling, underlined by a mineral note and firm ripe acidity. This wine is named for Frederic Emile who became famous for providing a new guarantee of quality and authenticity for Trimbach in 1898. The prestigious signature wine of the house, the ?Cuvee Frederic Emile? is highly prized by connoisseurs and collectors. Pair with: gourmet foods, quality fish, caviar, and fine white meats.

For three centuries and across 13 generations, the family has produced wines that are structured, longlived, fruity, elegant and balanced: the celebrated Trimbach style. The family personally looks after each operation, from planting to harvests and from vinification to bottling. The viticultural origin of the Trimbach family dates back to 1626, when Jean Trimbach, was recognized as a citizen of Riquewihr. From then on, the Trimbach's were renowned for their wine-growing. Maison Trimbach's vineyards are all situated around Ribeauville (Ribeauville, Hunawihr, Bergheim, Rorschwihr, Riquewihr and Mittlewihr). They benefit from the unique Alsatian microclimate, thanks to the Vosges Mountains protection, which preserves the plain from the rain. The vineyards were planted on the Ribeauville's fault line that fractured 50 million years ago between the Vosges Mountain range and the Black Forest offering a mosaic of terroirs including the complex calcareous limestone and bio-degraded seashell fossils called Muschelkalk. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWINEMAKING \u0026amp; VINTAGE NOTES \u003cbr\u003eThe vines are 50 years old from Ribeauvill's top sites such as Grand Cru Rosacker and the highly regarded Muhlforst. Soils are marl and limestone. Handpicked as late as possible in order to achieve maximum ripeness, which in turn, gives optimum depth of flavor and complexity. The grapes are pressed very gently in a pneumatic press. The juice ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats for 3 to 4 weeks. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine is not oak-aged, and is vinified to complete dryness with no residual sugar. Bottling is done early to preserve freshness, and the wine rests in bottle in the cellar for several years before reaching the marketplace, ensuring the wine is both ready to drink upon release but also can be cellared. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTASTING NOTES \u003cbr\u003eElegant, dry and precise.

Tasted again at Trimbach on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Clos Ste Hune at the beginning of November, with the same result, but this note: The 2021 Mandelberg offers a clear, precise, elegant and aromatic bouquet offering white and yellow stone fruit aromas intermingled with mineral notes. Dense, fresh and saline in the palate, this is a very aromatic and elegant, well structured and crispy Riesling with a long and intense, always fresh and aromatic finish.

Tight and with lots of tannins on the palate, this is a full-bodied, highly energetic and vivacious Riesling with a long and tensioned as well as complex finish that pairs the ripe and dense fruit with structural elements to create something new and impressive.

Beyond that, and as always, I tasted a pretty wide range from vintages here in spring and in late autumn last year. All the crus, whether grand cru or not, are of superb quality. The 2020 Gewürztraminer Muehlforst is a Best Buy; the 2020 Pinot Gris Grand Cru Osterberg is one of the finest Pinot Gris I tasted in Alsace last year; and the Riesling cuvée Frédéric Emile, no matter if the 2018 or 2019, should be seriously considered as a wine to purchase.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrimbach.fr\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExposed south and south-east, the Grands Crus Geisberg and Osterberg terroirs of Ribeauvillé which overlook the estate have given birth to this wine for several generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eThe average age of the vines, around 45 years, offers limited yields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eThe marl-limestone-sandstone and shell limestone composition of the terroir (Muschelkalk), as well as the well-ripened grapes strictly selected by hand, give this wine a remarkable personality: a dry and powerful Riesling, underlined by a mineral note and with finely chopped acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003ePrestigious signature of the house, the Frédéric Emile, often nicknamed FE or Freddie, is sought after by connoisseurs and collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003ePairings : great gastronomy, noble fish, caviar, fine white meats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eAging potential : the great vintages of Frédéric Emile mature for twenty years or more. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40845630865472,"sku":"WHFR20190580","price":109.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7728\/6464\/files\/trimbach-riesling-cuvee-frederic-emile-2018-750ml.jpg?v=1758187172"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7728\/6464\/collections\/alsace.jpg?v=1787552612","url":"https:\/\/www.1855thebottleshop.com\/collections\/france-alsace.oembed","provider":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
