Joseph Cattin Riesling Alsace 2023

Andy Says: "If we're talking about Alsace, we are talking Riesling. Here, this classic Germanic  grape is treated with a distinctly French philosophy, that is, fermented very dry and built with structure and power, more like a Chablis that the sweeter styles that many people associate with Riesling. Alsace's sunny but cool climate concentrates flavor while preserving fresh acidity. Crisp and vibrant with lemon, apple, and a subtle oily texture on the finish. Joseph Cattin is one of the most established producers and he asks surprisingly little for this quality bottle."
