If there is one Riesling in the world that every wine lover dreams of tasting and savoring, it is Clos Sainte Hune. High class dry wine, racy, refined, elegant, with very ripe fruit and a very pronounced minerality give it its unique character. It has a signature of its own that is transcendent in great vintages. It is a wine that inspires dreams with its harmony and its exceptional capacity for ageing

An exceptional terroir on the Grand Cru Rosacker in Hunawihr, this Clos which has belonged to the Trimbach family for more than two hundred years covers 1.67 hectares. The more than fifty-year-old vineyard benefits from a south, south-east exposure on a subsoil dominated by Muschelkalk limestone (or shell limestone) and yellow limestone.

The viticultural origin of the Trimbach family dates back to 1626, when Jean Trimbach, was recognized as a citizen of Riquewihr. From then on, the Trimbach’s were renowned for their wine-growing. Maison Trimbach’s vineyards are all situated around Ribeauville (Ribeauville, Hunawihr, Bergheim, Rorschwihr, Riquewihr and Mittlewihr). They benefit from the unique Alsatian microclimate, thanks to the Vosges Mountains protection, which preserves the plain from the rain. The vineyards were planted on the Ribeauville’s fault line that fractured 50 million years ago between the Vosges Mountain range and the Black Forest offering a mosaic of terroirs including the complex calcareous limestone and bio-degraded seashell fossils called “Muschelkalk”.
