Domaine Léon Boesch - Alsace Pinot Gris Le Coq 2023
93/100
RVF
"A wine that sings!"
After a brief aeration, this cuvée reveals aromas of peat, delicately smoky pine nuts, and notes of anise, linden, nectarine, and apricot. The full-bodied character of the Pinot Gris is complemented by lovely structure and a long, clean finish with smoky notes. The rooster appears on the village’s coat of arms.

Rated estate (2024 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Upon returning to the estate in 1999, Matthieu Boesch quickly decided to make the transition to organic and biodynamic farming, earning certification as early as 2006. However, while these sound practices are one thing, it took more time for the wines to find their balance in the glass—for the added acidity and tension to develop and harmonize over time. For the past two vintages, we’ve found that this is now the case. Good news!

Wine rated (2025 guide) 93/100 (2022 vintage)
Rated Estate (2024 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
As passionate advocates of biodynamics for over ten years, 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 perfectly express the region’s terroirs.
