Crafted to celebrate nearly four centuries of winemaking excellence since Maison Trimbach's founding in 1626, the Riesling Cuvée Frédéric Emile '375ème Anniversaire' represents a monumental milestone in Alsatian viticulture. Named in honor of Frédéric Emile Trimbach, who famously secured international acclaim for the estate at the 1898 Brussels International Exposition, this legendary cuvée is sourced exclusively from the prestigious Grand Crus of Geisberg and Osterberg, which tower directly behind the Trimbach estate in Ribeauvillé. The marl-limestone-sandstone soils of these steep, south-and-southeast-facing slopes impart an intense, chiseled minerality and structural power. In keeping with the strict Trimbach signature, the wine is fermented entirely dry without malolactic fermentation, preserving the pristine, laser-like acidity and pure, crystalline stone fruit and petrol character that defines world-class dry Riesling.

Established in 1626 by Jean Trimbach, Maison Trimbach has spent nearly four centuries defining the pinnacle of Alsatian winemaking from its historic base in Ribeauvillé, France. Under the enduring stewardship of the Trimbach family, the estate is globally revered for its uncompromising dedication to a dry, structured, and intensely mineral style of wine that eschews malolactic fermentation to preserve pristine acidity and varietal purity. Their legendary portfolio is anchored by the iconic Clos Sainte Hune, a peerless monopole Riesling from the Rosacker Grand Cru, alongside exceptional expressions of Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Blanc. By marrying deep-rooted ancestral traditions with meticulous vineyard management, Trimbach continues to craft some of the world's most cellar-worthy and gastronomically versatile white wines.
