Domaine Schoffit, Muscat Grand Cru Rangen, Clos Saint-Théobald 2023

Produktbeskrivelse

Schoffits absolut mest sjældne vin, der kun laves i udvalgte årgange. Den optræder aldrig i prislisten, men tildeles i små portioner til heldige udvalgte kunder. Muscat druerne fra denne blot 0.15 hektar lille parcel er med sin frugtige karakter yndlingsbytte for områdets fugle, så mængderne er selvsagt mikroskopiske. Her er tale om monumental Muscat Ottonel, der godt nok er aromatisk, men på ingen måde sød. Sprød, tør, fyldig og dyb Muscat – måske Alsace bedste af sin slags?

‘The 2023 Muscat Grand Cru Rangen Clos Saint-Théobald is a wine not made every year as this is a tiny 0.15  hectare parcel in the lower reaches of the site, often falling victim to birds. It is a pure Muscat Ottonel. Lemony white blossom is tender on the scented nose. The palate is much quieter, alle understatement but with a tender, subtle, calm body and smooth definition. The aftertaste has a lovely echo of distant clove. There is something otherworldly here (Bone-dry)” 95p. VINOUS

“Based on pure Muscat Ottonel, the 2023 Muscat Grand Cru Rangen Clos Saint-Théobald is very clear, precise and subtle on the bright, subtle, herbal, deep and iodine-scented nose. Based on young vines and vines up to 50+ years old, this is a rich, intense and elegant Muscat that is dense, savory, firmly structured and saline, leading to a clear, textured, stimulatingly saline and complex finish.” 94p.
