Hune 2015 in magnum format is one of the true legends of dry Riesling, sourced from a tiny 1.67-hectare parcel in the heart of Alsace. This cuvée is produced only in the finest vintages and is renowned for its breathtaking balance of power, precision, and longevity. The 2015 vintage, from a historically great year in the region, is already considered one of the standout Clos Ste. Hune releases of the modern era, with the larger 1.5 L bottle offering even greater aging potential and evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, Clos Ste. Hune 2015 shows a radiant, pale to medium lemon color with youthful green reflections, hinting at both concentration and freshness despite its age. The nose is deep, pure, and layered: notes of ripe lemon, lime zest, and preserved citrus peel mingle with crushed stone, white flowers, subtle smoke, and a delicate nuttiness that speaks of its Muschelkalk (fossil-rich limestone) soils and early bottle development. There is a quiet intensity to the bouquet that unfolds gradually with air.\n\nOn the palate, this is powerful yet effortlessly poised: concentrated citrus—lemon curd, grapefruit, and lime oil—meets saline minerality, fine spice, and a cool, stony backbone. The texture is rich and compact, yet carried by a perfectly integrated, driving acidity that keeps the wine taut and refreshing. The 14 g\/L of residual sugar is completely harmonized, giving body and gloss without any sense of sweetness, while the 14% alcohol is beautifully balanced by the wine’s structure. The finish is extremely long, precise, and mouthwatering, leaving impressions of citrus, salt, and chalk. In magnum, this 2015 has the capacity to age effortlessly for decades—20–30 years or more in a good cellar—gaining even more complexity, truffle, and honeyed nuances over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClos Ste. Hune comes from a single, historic, south- and partly east-facing plot within today’s Grand Cru Rosacker in Hunawihr, Alsace. The terroir is defined by deep Muschelkalk limestone soils, rich in marine fossils, which give the wine its laser-like acidity, tension, and signature saline, chalky minerality. Vines are tended with great care, and harvest is carried out by hand to ensure only perfectly ripe and healthy Riesling grapes are selected. In classic Trimbach style, vinification is deliberately traditional and non-interventionist: gentle pressing, temperature-controlled fermentation in neutral large oak or stainless steel, and long aging on fine lees to build texture while preserving purity and dryness. The wine is bottled relatively late and then held back for extended cellar aging at the domaine before release, especially in large formats like magnum, to ensure it reaches the market with some initial harmony while still built for very long-term development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a grand gastronomic Riesling that shines with refined cuisine. It is superb with shellfish (lobster, langoustine, scallops), oysters, and refined fish dishes—think turbot, sole, or halibut, simply prepared or with citrus, beurre blanc, or delicate cream sauces. It is also outstanding with high-quality sushi and sashimi, caviar, fine poultry in light cream or morel sauces, and aged hard cheeses such as Comté or mature Gruyère. Serve cool but not too cold, ideally around 10–12°C (50–54°F), to let the full aromatic complexity emerge. Young bottles, especially magnums, benefit from 1–2 hours in a decanter to open up; older, well-aged examples should be handled more gently, with a brief, careful decant primarily to remove any sediment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eF.
