Frédéric Emile is Trimbach's signature Riesling, the bottle collectors call "FE" or "Freddie", and this is its Vendanges Tardives (late-harvest) version from 2001. Trimbach keeps its Vendanges Tardives as a separate tier, apart from the classics, Réserve and Grand Cru bottlings. It's a side of this famously exacting Ribeauvillé house that most people never get to see. Frédéric Emile comes from the Grands Crus Geisberg and Osterberg, the slopes that overlook the estate. The vines face south and south-east on marl, limestone, sandstone and shell limestone (Muschelkalk), average around 45 years old and give low yields. Geisberg alone covers just 8.5 hectares of small, steep terraces. At more than two decades old, this 2001 is a chance to taste what all that time does. The 375ml size means two people can open it, or save it for the cheese course, without committing to a full bottle.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Seared foie gras with a fruit reduction; roast pork loin with caramelized apples; scallops or lobster in beurre blanc; a cheese course of washed-rind Munster or aged Comté.

Tasting Profile

Expect the concentration of late-picked Riesling in Trimbach's famously taut, dry house style: ripe peach, apricot and citrus peel over a stony, limestone-driven minerality. With bottle age, Riesling like this typically picks up notes of honey, beeswax and a hint of petrol, while bright, firm acidity carries it to a long, dry finish.
