Zind Humbrecht Riesling Rangen de Thann Clos St Urbain GC 2024
DOZEN: $2,646.00 or $220.50 each
The 2024 Riesling Rangen de Thann Clos Saint Urbain Grand Cru comes from the volcanic greywacke of this steep site. Wet walnut skin notions on the nose point to reduction. Underneath is crushed citrus foliage with an alluring aroma. The palate is purity, serenity, finesse and flow. The zestiness makes the mouth water while the purity and stoniness are disarming. Zestiness defines the finish of this super-fine, super-elegant expression of Rangen that is utterly firm but filigree. Wonderful. This needs time. (Bone-dry) (97) ANNE KREBHEL MW
Bright pale yellow color. The initial nose is imposing. It requires concentration on the part of the taster, who will certainly be overwhelmed by the extreme volcanic power on the nose. The palate exudes such energy that it commands respect. Everything is there: power, length, intensity, harmony, saline acidity... However, these descriptors cannot convey the emotion that this wine evokes. The Rangen is a harsh terroir that requires heroic viticulture. This wine is the result of that effort, so please appreciate it with respect. OLIVIER HUMBRECHT MW
