Mure Riesling Calcaires Jaunes 2023

Thomas and Véronique Muré are the twelfth generation of this Alsace winemaking family and have instituted two major changes since taking over from their father. First, they started harvesting their grapes earlier, resulting in drier, crisper and more age-worthy wines that are also more versatile matches for food. More recently, they have converted their entire production to organic. While the family’s vineyards have been farmed organically since 1999, the entry-level range, which includes fruit from other growers, followed suit from the 2015 vintage. Attention to detail and precision of style are Muré trademarks; the entry-level wines are beautiful varietal expressions, while those from the Clos St Landelin capture the essence of this very special Grand Cru. Muré’s southerly location also allows them to make arguably the greatest red wines in Alsace.
