The Clos Sainte Hune is many things at once. The greatest dry wine in Alsace? For sure. The greatest classically dry Riesling wine in the world? Not so arguably, yes. A wine that is greater than its cru? Check, given that no other wine from the Rosacker grand cru comes even close to the heights of Clos Sainte Hune. The most expensive dry white wine in Alsace? Yessiree. A wet dream of sommeliers and wine collectors everywhere. You bet.
So when you have the opportunity to write up almost every Clos Saint-Hune ever made thanks to one unforgettable day (albeit divided into two different moments), all you can do is thank your lucky stars and start whizzing your feet in the best road-runner impression you can muster and get yourself over to the first site of the tasting as quickly as humanly possible.
