Tasting notes for the Icarus 2021 - Domaine Vincent Stoeffler

  • EYE: This Icarus 2021 presents a robe of golden yellow, radiating youthfulness. Its clarity attests to the quality of the winemaking.
  • NOSE: At first scent, floral aromas harmoniously intertwine with notes of white-fleshed fruits, evoking peach and pear. Delicate wafts of acacia flowers, roses and citrus zest add a welcome aromatic complexity.
  • MOUTH: Upon tasting, one discovers a broad and generous palate, balanced by lively acidity. Juicy peach and ripe lemon flavors mingle with subtle hints of wildflower honey, creating a complex and gratifying taste symphony.

 

In short: The Icarus 2021 from Domaine Stoeffler distinguishes itself with its balance between freshness and aromatic richness. Its golden robe and floral bouquet offer a complete sensory experience, while its generous palate reveals the quality of this vintage. Open it within the next 3 to 5 years to fully appreciate its aromatic potential. This versatile wine pairs well with various dishes. Try it with pan-seared scallops, wild mushroom risotto, fresh goat cheese on toasted bread, refined sushi, or Mediterranean dishes such as a Niçoise salad.

Organic wine made in Alsace

 

The Vincent Stoeffler wine estate is located in the town of Barr, in Alsace, and has been producing wine since the beginning of the 18th century. The Stoeffler family has been the owner and manager since 1785; nine generations in total. The current estate was founded by Charles Stoeffler, the grandfather. In 1968, Vincent Stoeffler succeeded his father and began to modernize the facilities and develop direct sales. His son Adrien joined the family business after a few years.

In 2002, the estate had its 13 hectares of vineyards certified fully organic, which implies a complete lack of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Since then, they have also adopted practices straight from biodynamic viticulture (natural teas and composts), leaving human interventionism behind. The vineyards are composed of 80% white grape varieties, such as Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Sylvaner, and Pinot Blanc. A small plot in the Stoeffler vineyard is solely dedicated to Pinot Noir.

Today, the Domaine Vincent Stoeffler is considered one of the best natural wine producers in Alsace, with a varied range of wines (over 40 different cuvées in total), ranging from dry and fruity white wines to sweet dessert wines. They are regularly recognized for their work, especially for their famous "Kirchberg de Barr" Riesling, which has won numerous awards. In May 2022, it even received the official designation of Pinot Noir Grand Cru.
