Rangen has been called “the Montrachet of Alsace”
A pretty big statement however keeping this in mind I set out to look hard at the individual flavours and found them to be crisp, and clean with a faint hint of gun smoke on the nose along with some orange critics notes and flint-like minerals finishing with a saline lick in the mouth.
Finishes dry with a hint of mandarin/citrus on a lengthy lip-smacking finish.
I enjoyed this wine with oven-roasted Scallops in cream and a good splash of vodka with small diced King Edward potatoes and thinly sliced red onions having a milder and sweeter flavour.

The rot has set in.

PS. Was it the Montrachet of Alsace?
Well, I guess it wasn’t far short of a Montrachet in quality.
Mouth-filling minerals with hints of flint finishing dry,
it was less expensive than a lot of Montrachet at this quality level, which I thought was outstanding.
