Trimbach continues to be the leading source in Alsace of vins de gastronomie one of the few remaining places to find truly dry wines that complement but do not overwhelm food.Vintage 2002 actually brought the smallest crop here since 1990 thanks to a serious green harvest, according to export director Jean Trimbach.Although my sentimental favorite at Trimbach is often the family's great Riesling Clos Ste. Hune, this is one address where it's often difficult to choose a favorite among the rieslings, pinot gris and gewurztraminers made from estate fruit.Following my tasting of the 2002s and 2001s, I was able to taste the finished versions of several of the family's top 2000s, an outstanding vintage chez Trimbach.Some of these wines have not yet been released.

The Trimbachs, who sell 45% of their wine in the U.S. market, report that pinot gris is now their biggest seller. According to winemaker Pierre Trimbach, yields were high in '99 and '97, with 2000 more moderate, like 1998; production of gewurztraminer was especially low in 2000, he added. Acidity levels were roughly similar in '99 and '00, but the fruit in 2000 began with a bit more sugar. Some of the estate 2000 tokays, most of which were picked in the second half of September before the worst of the rains, came in with record levels of potential alcohol. Even the Trimbachs' tokay SGNs were from fruit harvested at the end of September and beginning of October. "Only the latest-picked stuff was vulnerable to gray rot," noted Pierre. "We love the hot years," noted export director Jean Trimbach, "because we always have a lot of acidity here, much more than in vineyards farther south."
