Langenberg 2005
Certified Organic (ECOCERT) and Certified Biodynamic (Demeter)
Varietals: Riesling, Pinot Gris and Muscat, but also Sylvaner and Chasselas
Review: “From a pure granite site in Saint-Hippolyte and a diverse mixture of varieties recently-planted but typical of field blends a century ago (Riesling, Pinot Gris and Muscat, but also Sylvaner and Chasselas), the 2004 Langenberg offers complex aromas of peach, apricot, pink grapefruit zest, zest, buddleia, tea, peppermint, and salt spray. With alluring inner-mouth floral perfume, high-toned herbal pungency, and salinity, it both caresses and invigorates the palate, finishing with clarity, refinement, considerable complexity, and verve.” 92 pts, erobertparker.com
