Both refined and powerful, the nose reveals a lovely freshness with musky and white floral notes. This freshness carries over to the palate, along with a hint of minerality. The bouquet is delicate, with balsamic notes on the finish. A wonderful introduction!

Bettane & Desseauve
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 excellent, particularly the Gewürztraminer and Riesling. The 2017 vintages are a nice, tight group, 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 fine terroir-driven wines, notably the Gewürztraminers from the Zinnkoepflé grand cru, a majestic hillside sheltered by the Grand and Petit Ballon.

Review by Mr. DIDIER P. Published on February 6, 2020
It's good, but not good enough to really grab your attention. Relatively short on the palate. There are plenty of Rieslings like this one.

Review by Mr. EMILIEN E. Published on 12/17/2019
Good value for the price. The Riesling is very fruit-forward with a fairly pronounced mineral character that makes it interesting. A good wine—not incredible, but enjoyable.
