Coquette is back! This time Jean-Pierre has added Pinot Noir into the mix with the usual macerated Gewurtztraminer and Riesling. Somewhere in-between an orange and rosé. Find out more.
About the Wine
Rietsch on fire here with a beautiful crémant of Auxerrois, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. Put through the traditional method of re-fermentation in bottle to yield deft results. This non-vintage blends the 2022 and 2023 vintages. The wine has great freshness, with lots of lemon citrus and exotic fruits but the time the wine is left to mature on the lees imparts a lovely richness; that buttery, brioche-y aroma as well as a plumpness and depth to match the saline acidity. Always a house favourite, a great Champagne alternative.
About Domaine Rietsch
The Rietsch estate has been in the family for seven generations and the land was previously used for tobacco and crops. It was Jean-Pierre's parents who started cultivating vines in 1970s, and handed on to Jean-Pierre in 1987. Although Jean-Pierre is now retired, he still contributes to daily runnings and is assisted by Pierre-Etienne Grieshaber. Le Main Verte is another contributing company, and coordinate the manual work in the vineyards yet the domaine is still very much driven by a family-led culture. The vineyard is naturally cultivated, with terroir at the heart of the operation and no use of chemicals.
