The Riesling Rangen of Thann Clos Saint Urbain of the Zind Humbrecht estate is the great alsatian mythical cru located to the south of the vineyard. The Rangen Hill is the steepest and reaches 90% slope. The Zind Humbrecht estate is fortunate to have plots at 500 meters altitude. This makes it possible to obtain grapes both well ripe and that retain a beautiful acidity.
The other characteristic of the Rangen lies in its geological composition which is mainly of nature volcanic. This gives this Riesling a phenomenal power.
Philippe Mischler, sommelier at Mundovin : The Rangen de Thann has always been a terroir coveted by the humbrecht family. The acquisition of this plot will only be finally made in 1977 and this was probably one of the most beautiful moments in the life of Leonard Humbrecht. Since then, all the Humbrechts have been "cushioning" this plot and have even set up a winemakers' charter of the Grand Cru Rangen to ban insecticide, acidification and deacidification.
In the nose the wine expresses on notes of ripe fruit and intense hints of spices. We find directly the typicality of the riesling with a lemony touch present that brings a lot of freshness. The wine is young, it deserves 10 to 15 years of custody.
The mouth is surgically accurate. At the same time a great clarity but also endowed with great aromatic power. It's definitely the best Riesling Grand Cru in the SouthAlsace.
