Tasting notes
The wine is a luminous pale yellow, sparkling in the glass. On the nose, aromas of white-fleshed fruit, white flowers, and a touch of candied lemon unfold with elegance. On the palate, the attack is crisp and lively, followed by a lovely roundness and a lingering minerality. The finish is long, marked by flinty notes and an invigorating freshness, inviting contemplation.

The vineyards of Domaine Trimbach stretch across diverse terroirs, primarily granitic and limestone, which impart an unparalleled character to the grapes. The continental climate, with its hot summers and cold winters, promotes a slow and balanced ripening of the grapes. The vines, cultivated with care and using sustainable practices, benefit from optimal sun exposure, allowing the full aromatic complexity of the grape varieties to be extracted. This harmonious blend of soil, climate, and the winemakers' expertise results in authentic wines, true to their terroir.
