“'Luss is very lively, with aromas of almonds and crisp yellow fruits.' (RVF)”
“The nose is a magnificent blend of flint and citrus, with hints of fennel seeds. On the palate, it offers a lively, lemony freshness while retaining all the juiciness of the 2023 vintage. Its light body and lovely minerality make it almost thirst-quenching, and it will continue to improve with age.” (Vinous 2025)

Wine rated (2026 guide) 90/100
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!

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 wine:
Luss is very lively, with aromas of almonds and crisp yellow fruits.
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.

About the wine:
The 2023 Luss Riesling, made from grapes grown on vines planted in 1974 and 1989 on limestone soil, has a golden color. The nose is a magnificent blend of flint and citrus, with hints of fennel seeds. On the palate, it bursts with lively, lemony freshness while retaining all the juiciness of the 2023 vintage. Its light body and lovely minerality make it almost thirst-quenching, and it will continue to improve with age. (Very dry)
