Léon Boesch - Pinot Gris L'Enchanteur 2018
3*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
“A marvel!”
L'Enchanteur has a magical quality, with its whirlwind of aromas of forest floor, toast, and candied fruit. Its lively, straightforward palate is instantly charming. The wine seems weightless, with a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity.

Rated estate (2024 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
After returning to the estate in 1999, Matthieu Boesch was quick to make the switch to organic and biodynamic farming, earning certification as early as 2006. However, while these sustainable practices are one thing, it took more time for the wines to find their balance in the glass—for the added acidity and structure to develop depth and complexity. For the past two vintages, we’ve found that this is now the case. Good news!

Rated estate (2024 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
As ardent advocates of biodynamics for over a decade, Matthieu and his wife Marie represent the eleventh generation of the Léon Boesch estate, located in the heart of the Vallée Noble. Here, the Zinnkoepflé grand cru is now dedicated exclusively to Gewürztraminer, with the aim of establishing it as a benchmark for a dry, full-bodied style. The estate has been practicing biodynamic agriculture since 2000, and the winery inaugurated in Westhalten in 2010 is a bioclimatic model. The wines possess depth and best express the terroirs of the region.

A good balance between acidity and integrated sweetness. However, it lacks complexity on the palate.
