Vinous (Anne Kriebel MW) 96 pts! The 2020 Riesling Frédéric Emile is from the Geisberg and Osterberg Grand Crus and, exceptionally, also the Kirchberg. It opens with chamomile and dried yarrow, showcasing a very subtle but aromatic nose. It is on the palate that the beautiful aromatics come through, almost with a floral quality of hawthorn blossom. There is a chalkiness in the texture, a lovely depth and verticality. This is serenity itself: the year may have been hot, but this has kept its cool. It shrugs off any hint of heat and presents us with its essential nature. Long and indestructible. Wow. (Bone-dry) (Drink between 2030 - 2060)
