95 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "This generous dry riesling has great structure and pronounced chalky minerality on the compact, medium-bodied palate. Intense citrus aromas and drive. Very long, energetic finish that suggests this has excellent aging potential. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. (5/19/25)"

93 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "The 2023 Riesling Roche Calcaire was harvested across the limestone soils of the estate from vines that do not make it into the single vineyards. In 2022, this was restricted to the marl and limestone soils of the village of Gueberschwihr, mostly facing east, from cooler vineyards. Subtle smokiness hints at the delicious reduction that still weaves through the wine. This is taut, lemony, long, streamlined and tightly coiled—a wellspring of freshness. (Bone-dry) Drink: 2025-2050. (Apr 2025)"

93 points Ian D'Agata Wine Review: "Pale straw yellow. A really penetrating and concentrated version of Roche Calcaire, one of the best ever. Licorice, forest floor, butter, orange, and earth tones on the nose and in the mouth for what is a surprisingly powerful wine this year. The vineyards are all planted on limestone soils. You can also tell it was a solar year, given the tactile nature of this beauty. About 10,000 bottles/year. Drinking window: 2027-2036. (10/17/25)"
