Zind
-- Parker: From 33-year-old vines planted in the coolest part of the Clos Windsbuhl, which is located adjacent to the forest, the 2022 Chardonnay-Auxerrois Zind offers a deep, clear, fresh and elegantly aromatic nose of ripe and well-concentrated fruits, Muschelkalk limestone, herbs, salts and lemon juice. On the palate, this is a mouth-filling, refined and stimulating mineral white with a dense and even rich texture and a long, intense and complex structured finish with fine tannins and stimulating salinity. The wine is as rich and powerful as it is stimulatingly juicy and elegant, provided with fine tannins that are perfectly wrapped by the concentrated and generous fruit texture. This is a great Windsbuhl, yet since it's also Chardonnay without bubbles, it has to be marketed as Vin de France. The 2022 will improve greatly with time, although it's already irresistible. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in November 2024.
