Wine from the estate

 

Sweetness index for the 2020 vintage: 2

(2*: not technically dry, but the sugars are not evident on the palate)

   

The sedimentary limestone geology, mainly located in the foothills of the Vosges mountains in Alsace, has always been the first choice for producing long-keeping and structured Gewurztraminer. The presence of clay, more or less important, brings an element of freshness to the soils, slowing down the ripening process and preserving a better acidity. The presence of limestone influences the aromatic profile and texture of the wine. Wines become spicier, less floral, with a recognisably tighter tannic structure so crucial to the wine's balance. Gewurztraminer, more than any other wine in Alsace, requires full physiological maturity.  

  

Tasting: This beautiful wine has a pale yellow colour. The nose shows a restrained aromatic expression, almost mineral, smoky and typical of a limestone soil. The nose reveals ripe citrus and exotic fruits with an elegant expression. On the palate, it offers surprising freshness and acidity and finishes with a delicate and balanced mellowness. It is clear that this wine will benefit from further ageing to allow it to express its full potential.

Index: Level of sweetness on the palate. Scale from 1 to 5.

1: technically dry or tasting dry. 2: not technically dry, but the sugars are not obviously apparent on the palate. Some tasters may find a slight roundness on the finish. These wines will taste dry with some bottle age.3: medium sweetness, more prominent in the youth of the wine, which will gradually fade with age. 4 : Sweet wine. 5 : Sweet wine, very close to a Vendange Tardive

 

Attention: The bottles of Alsace wine do not fit into the wooden boxes sold separately.

I love this site. Whether it's for old wines, or recent ones. The choice of partner estates is impressive, and allocations are sold at fair prices. Ludovic's advice is always excellent.
