RVF

Elegant and delightfully rich, the Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Sonnenglanz Vendanges Tardives—produced in a limited run of just 1,400 bottles for the 2014 vintage—is a complex and intense wine that pairs perfectly with its culinary counterpart: pan-seared foie gras, nothing more, nothing less!

Wine rated (2017 guide) 17/20 (Great wine)

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

The perfectionist Jean-Christophe Bott is one of Alsace’s leading winemakers. He is dedicated to meticulous work both in the cellar and in the vineyard, which is cultivated using biodynamic methods. While it consisted of just 4 hectares when it was founded in 1953, the estate now owns 15 hectares, spread across seven municipalities. The wines here are full-bodied and smooth, with their richness well-balanced and without the slightest hint of heaviness—particularly in the Pinot Gris wines, which are definitely worth rediscovering. Each cuvée possesses both power and a long finish, two qualities that contribute to their fullness. To top it all off, the estate offers slightly aged vintages for sale and has recently begun renting out vacation cottages.
