all youthful and yeasty

and this is really reminiscent of his famous neighbour downriver

Something floral too

Watch this unfurl with plenty of spiced black tea and florals given a little time

The deep clay soils of the Butteaux site do excellently in warmer years

Hunter McKirdy, Les Champs Des Fleurs 2024 Rare all youthful and yeastyPlace: Alsace, France Grape: Riesling Vibe: Stunning 100% Riesling from their last plot to ripen and the first time theyve made this cuve. In 2023, they lost most of the fruit and had to blend what was left. Thankfully, they managed to bottle it this year. Red apple skins on the nose with that classic Riesling lemon balm thing. The acid is incredible. Linear, sharp, wakes you up a bit. Absolutely incredible gear. ABV: 12%
