Domaine Léon Boesch Riesling - Les Grandes Lignes

From 25-year-old vines planted in sandstone-clay soil above a limestone bedrock, this Riesling comes from a long row on an east-facing hillside. It is dry with great body and offers a lovely drinking experience.

Matthieu and Marie Boesch are the 11th generation to manage the domaine, which has been in their family since 1640. Matthieu returned in 1999 to work alongside his father, Gérard, experimenting in the cellar and transitioning to biodynamic viticulture. Their vineyards have since become a haven for local wildlife, with birds nesting, bees building hives, and fawns taking naps in the shadows of their vines. In the cellar, the pressing process is long and slow, taking 8 to 12 hours. Indigenous yeasts are used, and malolactic fermentations occur spontaneously, without the addition of sulfur to block the process.
