The cuvée that carries her first name, and sums her up. Alsace’s four noble grapes in one glass, riesling leading for the backbone, the other three for flesh and perfume. The proportions change each year according to what the vintage gave: this is a grower’s blend, not a recipe.
Tasting.
- Appearance
- Pale yellow with green reflections, bright.
- Nose
- Open and floral — lime blossom, citrus, a breath of muscat that signs the blend.
- Palate
- Dry and lively on the attack, then the substance settles in. Saline finish on wet stone.
Food pairings.
- Everyday Alsatian cooking
- Roast poultry, quiches, savoury tarts
- River fish with beurre blanc
- Young pressed cheeses
