Terrasses de Schiste Riesling
Domaine Aubert · 2023
Riesling
This bottle lives in someone else’s cellar — but the wine is all yours to enjoy.
Tasting notes
Taut and stony, with white peach, lime pith and a saline finish that begs for a second glass.
In the cellar
Whole-bunch pressed, fermented with ambient yeasts in old foudres, 9 months on fine lees.
At the table
Choucroute, oysters, or a Thai green curry.
Claire Aubert
Claire farms four hectares of steep schist terraces her grandfather planted in 1962, entirely by hand.
