The 2020 Chablis L'Homme Mort 1er Cru is the most reductive on the nose amongst La Chablisienne's Premier Crus, though it opens with just 5-10 minutes in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a lightly spiced entry, modest depth, a fine edgy acidity that lends frisson towards the finish with q...

Bordeaux Blanc: Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon.In 2013 Julie and Baptiste began separating out some of the parcels of Sauvignon Blanc that had been growing from the Sancerre stock - they were becoming increasingly impressed with the wines from certain areas with a clay/limestone sub-soil. The result is...

The higher elevation and north facing slope of Block 6 has again ripened with stone fruit aromas that are exuberant and defining. Peach and nectarine flavours dominate the broad and expansive palate, but are sufficiently contained by a finish of purity and dancing acidity. The depth and length are i...

Intense aromas of nectarine and apricot are complimented by attractive florals and hints of marzipan. Mature Riesling vines grown in the heavy silt loam soils of north facing Block 1, has, as always, produced this distinctive, pure and refreshing style of Riesling. The natural sweetness is there, bu...

A vibrant bouquet of spring flowers, talc and orchard fruits introduces this impressive and commanding wine. Ripe apple and pear abound on the palate, complimented by pink grapefruit and mineral notes. For a dry wine, it’s surprisingly luscious: such is the power of the fruit supporting this crisp...

Citrus blossom, elderflower and wet stones set the scene for this subtle yet beguiling Chardonnay. Comfortable, at ease with itself, not a single component vying for attention; just the Felton Road style at the fore. Deeply fruited with hazelnut notes through the mid, combined with characteristic fr...

On a granite hillside below Schlossberg so not a grand cru. Named in honour of Cathy Faller's late mother.Quite rich and broad. Juicy and just a tad fat. Unlike its namesake … But with a nice kick on the end.16.5 Jancis Robinson.

Bit richer than Treilles du Loup because of the marl terroir. RS 30 g/l.Not obviously Gewurz but intense and both rich and lively. Lightly bitter finish. Very juicy and fruity rather than lychee-flavoured.17.5 Jancis Robinson.

Semi-SweetAbove Altenbourg, on marl, limestone clay and sandstone.The Grand Cru Furstentum is made up of limestone-clay and sandstone and produces wines of great aromatic complexity as well as elegance.Some of the Fallers’ oldest vines, close to 90 years old. Often the last to be picked. RS 26 g/l...

The grapes of Les Vignes du Prêcheur - the preacher's vineyard.A blend of 40% Riesling, 20% Pinot Gris, 20% Pinot Blanc, 12% Sylvaner, 5% Muscat and 3% Auxerrois.Aromatic but with a sense of control and grip, Les Vignes de Precheur is a blend of varieties that together represent the perfect introdu...

Cuvée Théo and Réserve Gwzt - now merged and called “Les Treilles du Loup".The 2023 is a highly appealing Gewurztraminer, perfect for aromatic Asian dishes, matching a certain exoticism with a sharp acid line and genuine drinkability. The source for this bottling is 40-50 year old vines in the...

Semi-sweet.Cuvée named for the late Laurence Faller, winemaker.

From the single vineyard Altenbourg, where the soils are primarily marl and limestone.

The Pinots Furstentum Grand Cru is a co-ferment of two-thirds Pinot Gris and one-third Pinot Blanc. Just subtle, cool wax appears shyly on the nose. This was made in smaller barrels, about 20% new, explaining that smoky oak touch. The palate is juicy with ripe Comice and Williams pear, enfolded by t...

From a special enclave of 70-year-old vines on the mid slope.Very pale straw. Rich and broad nose. Very racy, linear and refined with lots of texture. Lime and stoniness. This will be great! Very long and graceful.18 Jancis Robinson.

From the vineyard directly in front of the domaine - the Clos des Capucins.The 2023 Pinot Gris is produced in a nice tight and juicy style, with a gentle stone fruit and lightly honeyed finish. Really quite an acid-driven example of an ostensibly "entry-level" Pinot Gris, it is bone dry with just a...

Formerly known as Pinot Gris Cuvee Ste Catherine.The Pinot Gris Les Caracoles is most convincing with an inherent limestone coolness from this lieu-diet called Schneckentor at the foot of the Altenbourg - with deeper soils, so much more water retention and freshness here. Superb balance. (Bone-Dry)9...

Marl and limestone.Very racy and high toned. Lots of very pure, classic Riesling flavours on the floral side with that undertow of tension. Very nice! Very persistent.17.5 Jancis Robinson.

For Weinbach the Schlossberg vineyard remains the best terroir for Riesling in Alsace and was ranked #1 Alsace Grand Cru by the Revue du Vin de France.Very rich and powerful and extremely concentrated. With a grainy, refreshing finish.17 Jancis Robinson.

An ancient variety on old vines in the Clos des Capucins.A juicy, structured yet fine boned Sylvaner that cleanses and engages the palate with notes of fresh grass, lemon zest and fine herbs. A certain stoniness enhances the cleansing, tonic qualities. From old vines in the historic Clos des Capucin...

70% Auxerrois blend from old vines in the Clos des Capucins and the bottom of Altenbourg. Fun fact - Auxerrois can be labeled Pinot Blanc, but not the other way around - and only in Alsace. The two grapes are not related, but are stylistically similar and often blended.Aged in a mix of old and new f...

Produced primarily from old vines in the Clos surrounding the estate as well as some declassified fruit from the steeper slopes.The 2023 Riesling Cuvée Théo was picked from the granitic, sandy soils of the Clos des Capucins. It is shy on the nose but bright with lemon on the slender palate, adding...

The white is an interesting wine planted from cuttings from Henri Gouge's Pinot Blanc, growing alongside Chardonnay just north of the village. Brilliant for blind-tastings as well as excellent drinking.Both cépages were planted 1958, the chardonnay apparently from Montrachet cuttings, and the pinot...
