Marcel Deiss - Schoenenbourg Grand Cru 2020

Schoenenbourg produces wines which age well with outstanding body and richness, and characteristics not common for this type of wine: a nose with a hint of pepper or even a smoky aroma similar to a Tokay, a light acidity hidden by the fullness of its body, and a mineral nature not evident when young but developing fossil traces in time.

Finally, it can assimilate high potentials of residual sugars, because there is almost always Noble Rot. The Schoenenbourg wines are among the Very Great Wines of Alsatian Soils.

"The 2020 Grand Cru Schoenenbourg is deep, precise and intense yet also refined and saline on the complex yet pure nose that shows bitter orange as well as ripe apricot (kernel) and black tea aromas. Full-bodied, generously rich yet refined on the palate, provided with remarkably fine tannins and a sustainable salinity, this is a powerful, deep, complex and structured yet elegant and persistently long Schoenenbourg that is beautifully balanced and seriously long. 14% stated alcohol with 15.7 grams per liter of residual sugar. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024." - 95 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
