DOMAINE BIECHER SCHOENENBOURG ALSACE GRAND CRU - RIESLING 2022
Domaine Biecher - Schoenenbourg Alsace Riesling Grand Cru 2022
Region: Alsace Grand Cru Schoenenbourg, France
Grape: 100% Riesling
Rating: Wine Enthusiast 93-96 points
When to drink: Best enjoyed 2025-2035, with exceptional ageing potential
Tasting: This Grand Cru Riesling displays the characteristic smoky, flint and match-stick notes that define Schoenenbourg's unique gypsum-rich terroir. Vibrant citrus and green apple aromas are complemented by white flowers and wet stone minerality. The palate is concentrated yet elegant, with laser-like acidity framing flavours of lemon zest, white peach and a distinctive saline edge. The wine's medium body carries impressive depth, with a long, mineral-driven finish that speaks to its Grand Cru pedigree.
Pairing: Exceptional with Tristan da Cunha Lobster in a light citrus butter sauce or grilled Alaskan Black Cod. Perfect alongside Sturia Oscietra Caviar served simply on blinis. For cheese, pair with aged Fort Saint Antoine Comté or Vacherin Mont d'Or. The wine's minerality beautifully complements Baby King Oyster mushrooms or Chanterelles sautéed with herbs and white wine.
Producer: The Biecher family has been crafting wines in Saint-Hippolyte since 1762, making them one of Alsace's most historic producers. Now led by Olivier Biecher, the domaine is the largest producer of organic wines in the region, having convinced many growers to convert to organic principles. Their Schoenenbourg bottling comes from one of Alsace's most celebrated Grand Crus, where steep south-facing slopes and distinctive Keuper marl soils rich in gypsum create Rieslings of exceptional power and refinement.
Vintage: The 2022 vintage in Alsace began with an unusually mild, dry winter followed by extreme summer heat and drought. September rains provided crucial relief, allowing for gradual ripening and preserving freshness. The result is wines of aromatic intensity and concentration, with Rieslings showing particularly well - combining ripeness with vibrant acidity and mineral precision.
