94 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "You can really smell and taste all the sunshine of the warm and dry 2020 summer in this bold and rich dry riesling, with its nose of ripe pineapple. The very fresh acidity enables it to carry easily the almost 14% of alcohol, giving the long finish impressive drive and pushing the crushed-rock minerality. Partly from the Grand Cru Brand, the rest from a nearby vineyard. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. (8/8/22)"
93 points Stephen Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "From predominantly younger, 20+-year-old vines in the Grand Cru Brand, the 2020 Riesling Roche Granitique shows an intense yellow color and a beautifully intense, complex and aromatic yet pure nose with perfectly ripe tropical fruit aromas intertwined with delicate and saline granite notes. On the palate, this is a rich and intense, almost Traminer-like Riesling with lush and intense, powerful fruit and big complexity. The power is richness balanced by great mineral acidity and fine tannin grip that makes this an impressive wine at this price point. Bottled bone dry with 13.9% stated alcohol in January this year. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2022. Drink: 2023-2050. (Mar 2023)"
