Domaine Ostertag Description
If each generation leaves its mark on a domaine, André Ostertag’s on Domaine Ostertag can’t be underestimated. In the 1980s, after training in Burgundy, he returned to the family domaine his father built in the 1960s with renewed zeal: he lowered yields considerably, brought biodynamic viticulture to his fourteen hectares of vineyards, and sought nuance in terroir rather than the typicity of a grape variety. His subtle use of oak barriques, sourced from the Vosges Mountains, served to bring greater depth on the palate for varieties from the Pinot family. His pioneering approach helped to define new expressions of Alsatian wine for the entire region.
Vinous: 92 Points
The 2023 Riesling Les Jardins has a lot of fruit tones from its sandstone and clay influences because all of Le Berceau, which was not made in 2023, was added to Les Jardins, with additions from Clos Matis on granite. There is a floral creaminess here, almost like a shower of spring blossom, guelder rose petal and fresh, green apple notes. The palate is smooth, ripe and gentle, with a subtle, salty linearity that gives direction to its creaminess and pushes the freshness forward. This is a balanced, bone-dry Riesling.
