Both refined and powerful, the nose reveals a lovely freshness with hints of musk and white flowers. This freshness carries over to the palate, accompanied by a mineral touch. The finish is delicate, with balsamic notes. A wonderful introduction!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
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 here, 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, with the exception of the Gewürztraminer from the Grand Cru, which is overly marked by its residual sugar.

Rated estate (2020 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
It all began with a small plot of land tended on Sundays by Jean-Marie’s grandfather, a potash miner. Today, a 7-hectare estate in the heart of the Noble Valley, 20 km south of Colmar, run by Jean-Marie Haag since 1988. Beautiful terroir wines, notably the Gewürztraminers grown on 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 quite enough to hold your attention. It's relatively short on the palate. There are plenty of Rieslings like this one.

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 amazing, but enjoyable.
