NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Marc Kreydenweiss Kastelberg Grand Cru is a remarkable wine, offering a captivating sensory journey.On the nose, it entices with an intricate bouquet of white flowers, fresh citrus, and an alluring minerality. Notes of honeyed stone fruits and hints of exotic spices also delicately emerge. The palate is a harmonious blend of vibrancy and elegance, with a striking interplay between bright acidity and a rich, textured mouthfeel. Layers of ripe pear, apricot, and zesty lemon zest are expertly balanced against a pronounced stony, saline minerality. This wine marries beautifully with a variety of dishes, especially seafood such as oysters, lobster, or grilled scallops, thanks to its refreshing acidity and mineral backbone. For those looking to age this gem, it will undoubtedly reward patience; however, it's equally delightful in its youth. Cellaring for 5-10 years or more will unveil further complexities, making it an exceptional choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
