A Muscat of great richness and depth, with an endless palate and intense aromatic character.
Alsace Grand Cru Goldert Muscat La Chapelle 2020 Domaine Ernest Burn
The Grand Cru Goldert ranks among the mythical terroirs of southern Alsace, renowned for its ability to magnify Muscat in a register that is at once aromatic, crystalline, and profoundly layered. Domaine Ernest Burn offers here an emblematic interpretation: La Chapelle 2020, a Muscat of high expression, born from a chalk-rich hillside exposed due east, where perfect ripeness and floral finesse unite naturally.
The nose is intensely perfumed without excess, with notes of white flowers, crisp grapes, citrus zests, and a delicate menthol touch characteristic of Goldert. On the palate, the wine distinguishes itself through remarkable balance: the sunny ampleness of the 2020 vintage, aromatic purity, saline freshness, and a long, airy finish, almost fleshy yet always held taut by minerality. The Ernest Burn style remains true to its reputation: precision, vinosity, and radiance, with fruit always kept very pure.
La Chapelle 2020 is delightful to drink today, but it also possesses the ageing potential typical of the cru: another 8 to 12 years will allow it to gain complexity, moving towards spicier and honeyed nuances. Perfect at table with gently spiced Thai cuisine, ceviche, fresh goat cheese, or a citrus salad.
