The 2022 Riesling Rangen Clos Saint Théobald Grand Cru is from a parcel in the midslope of the Rangen, picked from vines between 40 and 45 years old. The nose has immense clarity of the brightest citrus. The palate is totally taut, still raw almost, but displaying clarity, precision and wonderful concentration that tingles with all manner of citrus zest, spanning lemon, bergamot and aromatic tangerine. Exquisite density shows beautiful ripeness and serene smoothness, despite all the stone, wonderfully complete, without a touch of heat despite what Schoffit calls, rightly, a "violent, warm" terroir. The 2022 is a pure wine of stone and tingling, aromatic citrus zest. (Bone-Dry) (Drink between 2030-2060) 97 points. Vinous.
