CLEMENT SUMMER Finalist Competition of the Best Sommelier of France 2024

Dress: Clear and deep rub, shiny, clear.

Nose: Floral and vegetal nose. The peony scent is next to the acidic cherry and the rosewood. The perfect palette. It blends delicateness, early fruit and elegance of breeding. The noble plant marker brings an additional dimension to the nose.

Mouth: Mouth attack is tender, fruity. It brings a sweet, delicate and full middle of mouth. The floral, vegetal and fruity tones take turns to give a stretched, loose wine. The tannin grain is silky, supported by a farm providing structure and intensity. The salty and roasted character coats the acidified cherry. The final vibrates like the rope of a violin. Beautiful. Very nice bottle.

Agreement: Pigeon, red wine reduction, trumpet of death and roasted potatoes.

For the little story, we are talking about a family estate, located in Orschwihr, which operates on almost the same soil as the Zusslin estate, which we worship at Chais d'oeuvre. Pfingstberg, Bollenberg, but also Kaefferkopf... This has been done in biodynamics since 2000. I was very happy at this tasting to find Annabelle Braun, Christophe's daughter who, for some vintages, has taken over winemaking in the estate. There was also Quentin Antigny, his darling, [...] A pure wine enthusiast who, following his studies, spent a year alongside François Chidaine in Montlouis and Benjamin Dagueneau in Saint-Andelain, to draw on the science and codes of high-precision wines. Annabelle did her classes in Burgundy: at Christophe Roumier, and at Cécile Tremblay... I vo
