Domaine Trapet Pere et Fils, Riesling Schlossberg Grand Cru, 2023
Picture steep granite terraces climbing toward a medieval castle above Kaysersberg, farmed biodynamically by a family better known for Gevrey-Chambertin. That's Schlossberg, one of Alsace's most dramatic Grand Crus, and Trapet's Riesling here is all tension and stone. The soils are granite (weathered biotite granite and gneiss-granite migmatite of Kaysersberg), with no schist, which push the wine toward a cool, saline, crushed-rock intensity rather than richness. It's dry, mineral and built to reward patience, so give young bottles a decant or a few years in the cellar. Burgundian precision applied to Alsatian granite.
