15,5/20
Bettane & Desseauve
It’s truly like gold flowing into the glass! A dazzling golden color, along with powerful and alluring aromas of spices (star anise), rose petals, and exotic fruits, fill the glass. The smooth, velvety palate captivates with its remarkable length. All the charm of a Gewurztraminer Grand Cru.

Wine rated (2019 guide) 15,5/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2020 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
This 7-hectare estate cultivates most of its vineyards on the slopes of the Zinnkoepflé Grand Cru and in the surrounding area. Unsurprisingly, Gewürztraminers take center stage at the estate, but in 2015, the Pinot Noirs also made a strong showing. The 2016 vintages are successful, particularly the Gewürztraminer and Riesling. The 2017 vintages are a solid group overall, with the exception of the Gewürztraminer from the Grand Cru, which is overly marked by its residual sugar.

About the estate:
It began as a small plot tended on Sundays by Jean-Marie’s grandfather, a potash miner. Today, it is a 7-hectare estate in the heart of the Vallée Noble, 20 km south of Colmar, which has been run by Jean-Marie Haag since 1988. It produces beautiful terroir-driven wines, notably the Gewürztraminers grown on the Zinnkoepflé Grand Cru, a majestic hillside sheltered by the Grand and Petit Ballon.
