In the 1980s, Michaël Boch presented himself at a very young age to take over the small and sympathetic family domain of father Heribert. When he was barely 16 he got his first vineyard from his father and at the age of 21 he was the youngest winemaker in the Moselle. He has 2 of the most enviable vineyards in Trittenheim at his disposal. The Altärchen vineyard, which forms the inner meander of the Moselle, and the famous Apotheke vineyard, blessed with an exceptional terroir. This south-westerly oriented steep slope (up to 70% gradient) that forms the outer bend of the Moselle here is composed of the famous Shiesser layers on which Riesling finds an ideal substrate and which give these wines an exceptional tension and minerality. The medals, awards and prizes can hardly be counted at the Boch house, but they have never made the modest Michael walk wrong. Meanwhile, son Maximilian is already playing the drums to be able to contribute. He has already completed an internship at some of the most renowned wine estates in the Moselle and, like his father, has barely outgrown his diapers and is already ready to introduce new ideas and realize his own projects. The future is assured with this. A reassuring idea for any wine lover who has ever had the privilege of getting to know this affable winery.
Hints of caramelized sugar and dried raspberries abound from nose to finish in this Pinot Noir vinified like a white wine. Dry on the palate, its rounded texture is augmented by soft, yielding acidity. Drink now.
This wine is 'vegan'.

Beautiful dark cherry pit and bright red candied cherry sing on the palate with refreshing acidity and a finish that has serious length.

'Delightful fragrance of acacia blossom and spring flowers may lead you to believe that this is going to be a pussycat of a trocken, but on the palate the dry estate Riesling is quite taut, fresh with acidity and almost like licking a salt cube. '

A refreshing mix of citrus fruits and slate minerals on the nose, and just enough substance and sweetness on the palate to carry it to the vibrant finish.

Pure, precise, and intense, this shows all the hallmark of a great dry German Rieslings. Enjoy the vibrancy of the wine in its first 2 years, or wait for 5 more years for it to develop more mellowness and complexity. A great wine for those who are tired of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio, but shy away from the residual sweetness of the German wines made in an off-dry style.

A typical Riesling Kabinett made from grapes from the highly rated Apotheke vineyard in Trittenheim. Light and elegant fruity aromas combined with a nice minerality.
"On the nose, the wine has honey, and fig. There's a fine flavor of dried plums and apricots, Christmas spices, and raisins. The wine can age until 2060."
