Domaine Bott-Geyl - Riesling Grand Cru Sporen 2016

The purity and intensity of the Sporen are striking: this is a dazzling wine, brimming with electric energy, whose savory character will transport you far away.

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.

The aroma of dried lemon zest and a hint of crushed yarrow blend with notes of soft apple on the nose. The palate is concentrated yet sleek. A soft, fragrant quality imparts these sensual notes of citrus and aromatic herbs. This wine is fresh yet soothing, with a beautifully dry and intense finish.

A very appealing nose with beautiful, pure aromas of yellow citrus fruits and crushed stone. On the palate, it feels very fresh, crisp, and dry, with a smooth, vibrant finish. Made from organically grown grapes. Ready to drink now or for aging.
