How Pre-Arrival Works

These wines are currently on the way to Thatcher’s Wine. We have sourced them from some of our clients' private cellars, our friends in Europe, direct from the domaine or through our other trusted networks. On each product you will note an estimated time of arrival. Understand that these are only estimates, and to ensure that your wine arrives safely it may be longer. Utilizing this method allows us to offer some amazing wines and gives you the opportunity to secure them earlier.

The 2012 Riesling Clos Ste Hune is deep, generous, precise and salty with a typical nose reminiscent of limestone. Dense and very salty on the palate, this is a powerful yet elegant, round and complex Clos Sainte Hune with enormous mineral expression, which lends energy, class, vibration and tension to the sheer power. It was bottled with six grams per liter of residual sugar. Tasted from the magnum at the Auberge de l'Ill in November 2024.

Golden straw-yellow. Delicate but very deep and closed nose offers scents of green apple, ginger, white peach, lemon and smoke. Quite brooding today but already conveys sneaky concentration to its rich, gingery stone fruit and fusel flavors. Finishes dense and rich, but fresh, harmonius acidity and a saline edge keep the wine light and lively on the palate. This vintage of Clos Ste. Hune is marked by an especially strong diesel fuel note, which Pierre Trimbach believes is only minimally due to the warmer vintage and more so to the terroir. Moreover, Trimbach believes that with the increased use of gentler presses in the region, this early-onset fusel smell in Riesling wines will become less and less common. I am not a huge fan of petrolly young Rieslings, so I find this wine tough to judge today. But I do think this will be one of those vintages in which the quality difference between the Frédéric Emile and the CSH will turn out to be minimal.
