Domaine Bott Geyl - Gewurztraminer Sonnenglanz Grand Cru 2006
Rating: Robert Parker 89/100, RVF 17/20
Grown using biodynamic methods, like the rest of the estate, these 20- to 45-year-old south/southeast-facing vines produce a Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Sonnenglanz that is both balanced and complex, with a very pure and elegant mouthfeel. Divine!

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 communes. The wines here are full-bodied and smooth, their richness well-balanced without the slightest heaviness, particularly in the Pinot Gris, which is definitely worth rediscovering. Each cuvée possesses both power and a long finish, two qualities that lead to a sense of fullness. To top it all off, the estate offers older vintages for sale and has recently begun renting out vacation homes.
