Alsace Grand Cru Goldert Riesling Vendange Tardive 2006 Domaine Ernest Burn

Born from the majestic limestone slope of Goldert, this 2006 Riesling Vendange Tardive from Domaine Ernest Burn embodies the ideal meeting of late maturity, delicate botrytisation, and mineral purity. The 2006 vintage, ample and sun-filled, delivered perfectly ripe fruit, allowing the grape to develop remarkable aromatic complexity while retaining the tension characteristic of Riesling on chalk.

The nose expresses itself with captivating depth: candied citrus, orange peel, mirabelle plum, light honey, dried flowers, and a fine touch of petrol that marks the noble evolution of the variety. On the palate, the residual sweetness is present but perfectly balanced by a clean, saline acidity, giving a wine that is at once ample, luminous, and remarkably digestible. The structure is long and harmonious, with a vibrant finish where candied fruits, zest, and minerality intertwine.

This 2006 Vendange Tardive still possesses considerable ageing potential: another 10 to 15 years will allow it to deepen its honeyed and spiced nuances while preserving its structural freshness. Best enjoyed with foie gras, sweet and savoury cuisine, aged hard-paste cheese, or at the end of a meal to savour its full aromatic complexity.
