Wine information
The Ambre Jaune 2021 is an orange wine made from Riesling with some Pinot Blanc from Riquewihr and Beblenheim, macerated on the skins for about two weeks and then aged in used demi-muid and pied.
Color
intense, clear golden yellow
Nose
Although the wine seems so deep in colour, the nose of the Ambre Jaune downright subtle. It smells of vanilla, lemon and lemon peel, some apple along with apple peel, ivy and saffron. But one senses a certain depth and fullness, and with air and warmth, notes of black tea and wax open up.
Palate
On the palate, the Ambre Jaune a wonderful perfume. Indeed, the wine presents a certain opulence that fills the mouth. The phenolic also provides a striking but fine texture. At the same time, the wine remains on a lively, still fresh side. It captivates with an aromaticity that reminds one a little of Gewürztraminer in its expressiveness. But the body remains rather slender, and the balance that the Ambre Jaune between the fruit and spice, the texture and the ripe acid structure is fascinating.
