“A fascinating array of mint, pumpkin, canned peach, and orange marmalade characterizes the 2007 Gewurztraminer Sonnenglanz Sélection de Grains Nobles, supported by a creamy, extremely smooth palate that manages to retain a certain juicy vibrancy of fresh fruit. Salted caramel, spiced pumpkin, and peach dominate the long, refined finish, which is both soothing and refreshing. I gained even more respect for this wine when I saw that it boasts 250g of residual sugar—an SGN that is already impeccably balanced.” (Wine Advocate 2010 - Robert Parker)

Wine rated (2011 guide) 19/20 (Exceptional wine)
Rated estate (2023 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often blessed with 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 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.
