Domaine Marcel Deiss : Langenberg 2022

The 2022 Langenberg “La longue colline” is fruit-intense and generous on the saline nose but shows the coolish, flinty tone of wet stones, white asparagus and also wax. Medium-bodied and very dense on the palate, this fleshy-textured Riesling reflects the warmth and sunshine of the vintage. It is an intense and still rather edgy and also tannic Riesling that still covers the Langenberg a little, but the terroir comes through with its crisp, saline mineral verve and elegance. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024.
