97 points and a “Cellar Selection”:
Smokiness and the purest note of Amalfi lemon combine into an intriguing aroma on this wine's nose. The palate is a picture of concentrated, ripe lemon, buffered by stony austerity and channeled into the sinuous intensity. Right now this wine brims with youthful fruit, but it also has stony depth. Drink 2025–2045.
Schaal says:
The grandest of the Grands Crus and the only one on volcanic rocks. This soil, combined with a 60-degree slope, make for tiny yields of hard-won fruit.... but the results are worth the struggle, the concentration and depth of this wine is extraordinary.
Considered as the Montrachet of Alsace, the grand cru Rangen inspired countless poets, such as Michel de Montaigne, who is probably the most famous.
