"Rich, fleshy, juicy and full" (Vinous) "
"In 2022, Jean Boxler downgraded his Gewurztraminer de Brand and blended the limestone parcels with it. The bouquet is intense, varietal, well marked by notes of rosehips and ginger. Suave on the palate, the wine is creamy, round and refreshing, thanks to its fine, structuring bitters". (Yves Beck 2022)

5-star rated estates (Outstanding producers, representing the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and worldwide)
About the domain :
Since arriving at the family estate nearly 20 vintages ago, Jean Boxler has slowly fine-tuned the winemaking process, and today is on a par with Alsace's elite. The vines are splendidly situated, firstly on the Sommerberg, where Jean has a large parcel of land, and secondly on the Brand, two terroirs that shine for Riesling, the estate's main grape variety. The viticulture is demanding and meticulous, the ageing adapted to the wines and vintages, here no false note, whatever the grape variety, even the most modest sylvaner or pinot blanc (but the latter comes from the Brand). Superb success for the 2016s, with wines a little less dense than 2015 but which will age to perfection. 2017 saw the sylvaners, pinots blancs, muscats and, of course, rieslings stand out in the range. The choice is vast, even if few wines are available on the estate.

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of the French vineyard. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wines is always a magical experience)
About the domain :
Jean Boxler, perched on the heights of Niedermorschwihr, has confirmed his reputation as a highly demanding producer with recent vintages. He gives all his nobility to the Sommerberg grand cru, a granite cirque whose steep slope makes the work particularly difficult. The estate owns 4 hectares of this and 1.9 hectares of the Brand grand cru. Different cuvées from different parcels are offered, all of which have now reached an exceptional level, and exploring their nuances is a fascinating exercise!

About the wine:
Gewurztraminer Réserve 2022 contains declassified Gewurztraminer from the granite Grand Cru Brand and the limestone lieux-dits Pfoeller, Logelberg and Boland, closer to Grand Cru Forimont. On the nose, bright, juicy lychee shimmers with the scent of rose. The palate is fluid, unctuous, succulent and rich in ripe fruit, combining peach compote with crushed lychee flesh. The 2022 is rich, fleshy, juicy and full. Jean Boxler says this wine has around 30-25 g/L of residual sweetness, which reinforces the fruit. This wine is round, soft and long-lasting. (Medium)
