This is Trimbach's signature dry Riesling from 2001, the year the house turned 375, bottled under a special label for the anniversary and now more than two decades into its life. Trimbach was founded in 1626 by Jean Trimbach in Riquewihr, and thirteen generations later Cuvée Frédéric Emile is still the bottle the family is best known for. Collectors call it "FE" or "Freddie." It's named for the ancestor whose Diploma of Honor at the Brussels International Fair first made the house's name outside Alsace. The fruit comes from the Grand Cru Geisberg and Osterberg vineyards, the south- and southeast-facing slopes above the estate in Ribeauvillé that have supplied this wine for generations. Their soils are marl, limestone and sandstone plus shell limestone (Muschelkalk), and Geisberg is just 8.5 hectares of small, steep terraces, one of the smallest Grand Crus in Alsace. Trimbach says great vintages of Frédéric Emile last twenty years or more, and this bottle is a rare chance to see what time does to the house's flagship without having to wait for it yourself. Save it for a dinner that deserves it.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Turbot or halibut with beurre blanc, sole meunière, caviar on blini with crème fraîche, roast poularde with morels and cream, veal medallions in a light mushroom sauce.

Tasting Profile

Expect Trimbach's signature style: bone-dry, taut and powerful, with lemon, lime and white peach over a pronounced limestone minerality. The acidity is firm and precise and the body fuller than most Alsace Riesling. With bottle age, the style typically picks up notes of toast, dried herbs and the classic Riesling petrol, finishing long, dry and saline.
