The 2018 Riesling Clos Ste Hune is deep and intense on the very generous yet refined and elegant, rich and lemon-scented nose that indicates enormous richness. It's very harmonious. Full-bodied, very intense and concentrated yet also vital and full of tension, this is a very rich and powerful yet elegant und utterly mineral CSH that combines great finesse and salinity with power and substance. This is a giant. 14.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024.
This impressive version offers a lot of umami, with salted herbs and smoke flanked by notes of celery leaf, chives and bitter apple seed. Still tightly coiled and structured, with unbridled power underneath the apple and peach fruit profile. Structured and steely for now, this has a long life ahead in the cellar. Mineral elements take over on the long, intense finish, laced with dried flowers and salt.
Like heavy velvet in texture and weight, but so fine and elegant, this well-focused Riesling possesses a backbone of mouth-watering acidity and offers layers of durian, pineapple, pickled ginger, pink grapefruit candy and stony mineral with a long, savory finish. It is refined and complex, only starting to reveal all of its facets.
