This specific Clos is cultivated exclusively by the family and is characterized by volcanic andesite soil, which gives the Riesling extreme minerality and a plastic structure. In the 2012 vintage, a balanced growing season and a highly concentrated selective harvest ensured that the wine perfectly combines both the intense fruit and the vital acidity of this terroir, making it one of the region's most long-lived creations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe tasting reveals a deep golden spectrum that precisely combines initial nuances of ripe citrus and yellow peach with burning pebbles, salt crust, and the characteristic earthy tone of volcanic scree. On the palate, the wine presents itself powerfully, supported by enormous density and a taut slenderness that harmoniously links fruit and substance. As it develops, complex aromas of dried stone fruits, ginger, and slightly turpentine-like notes emerge, while the acidic architecture continues to act as a backbone, supporting the richness and gaining dynamism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis bottle best unfolds its complexity from 2024 well into the 2040s, with the aromatic diversity continuously refining and rounding out over time. With food, the wine offers a strong accompaniment to smoked fish such as monkfish or pike-perch, but it is also ideal with spicy game dishes and aged mountain cheese. The dominant mineral sharpness cuts through fatty textures and emphasizes smoky aromas, thus building an elegant bridge between the challenge of the cuisine and the expressiveness of the Grand Cru site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zind Humbrecht","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54668574425426,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/9460\/2322\/files\/4612_bf6be35d395f.jpg?v=1789117993","url":"https:\/\/vinosas.com\/en\/products\/zind-humbrecht-clos-saint-urbain-riesling-rangen-de-thann-2012","provider":"VINOSAS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
