Parker about Clos Windsbuhl Riesling 1997

The greenish, light straw-colored 1997 Riesling Clos Windsbuhl soars from the glass with boisterous floral, verbena, and mineral aromas. Medium-to-full-bodied, silky-textured, and focused, it bursts on the palate with intense lemon/lime flavors. This wine is pure, focused, and formidably long in the finish.

Produktbeschreibung

Clos Windsbuhl Riesling 1997


The 1997 Clos Windsbuhl Riesling from Domaine Zind-Humbrecht is an outstanding example of the quality and character that a great Alsatian Riesling can offer. The grapes come from the renowned Clos Windsbuhl, a single vineyard known for its chalky soils and cool climatic conditions, which lend the wines exceptional elegance and longevity.

In the glass, the wine displays a golden yellow color, testifying to its ripeness. The nose unfolds a complex bouquet of citrus fruits, white flowers, and green apple, complemented by mineral notes of wet stone and a hint of honey and smoke. The aromas are precise and lively, typical of a mature Riesling of this quality.

On the palate, the wine presents a remarkable balance of freshness, acidity, and depth. The structure is clear and focused, with a pronounced minerality influenced by the calcareous soils. Aromas of ripe citrus fruits, candied lime, and a hint of herbs unfold in perfect harmony. The finish is long and elegant, with a lingering salinity that underlines the terroir expression of Clos Windsbuhl.

The 1997 vintage in Alsace was warm, which allowed the grapes to reach ideal ripeness while also imparting concentration and balance to the wines. This Riesling is a stunning example of Domaine Zind-Humbrecht's craftsmanship and demonstrates how fascinating a well-aged Alsatian Riesling can be. Perfect with seafood, poultry, or mature cheese, it also excels on its own.
