'Cuvée Frédéric Emilie' is only produced when the Trimbach family believe the vintage is good enough to produce grapes of sufficient quality to make this top wine. The clay-limestone soil and 40-year-old vines add complexity and minerality. A superbly concentrated nose of pineapples, lime, lemongrass, green apples, blossom and minerals. The palate emulates the nose, with the intensity of the fruit building in the mouth. After several years' bottle ageing this is already a beautiful wine but it has the potential to age for a further 10 years.
