St Emilion in the ripe and modern style from the Aubert family.Tasting: The 2010 Vintage by Prinz von Hessen

Despite my addiction to the wines of the Loire, and my long-term affair with Bordeaux, the wines of Germany have long held some appeal for me. There is something captivating about the patchwork of vineyards, brimming over with centuries of history, matched in this respect only by Burgundy, those precipitously slatey slopes looking down onto the Rhine and the Mosel and, of course, the filigree finesse of the wines, which at their apogee are some of the most exciting and vibrant to be found on the planet. And so I was very happy to recently return to Germany, even if only vicariously, with a look at a trio of samples provided by Prinz von Hessen, a long-established estate on the Rhine.Schramsberg "Blanc de Blancs Brut" 2008 Champagne & Sparkling Wine
