Domaine Loew - Gewurztraminer Westhoffen 2016
88/100
Robert Parker
Son of the Sun, Gewurztraminer is planted here on a gentle slope of red marl facing north, allowing for slow, optimal ripening while retaining freshness. The nose reveals classic aromas of pepper and rose, which are also found on the palate. We love the elegant sweetness that brings a delicious touch to this balanced cuvée.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2017 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Étienne Loew is courageously fighting to raise awareness of the little-known terroirs of Westhalten, where very few winegrowers bottle their wine. Careful vinification and long aging (mainly in stainless steel vats) produce pure, precise wines, with the Rieslings being very dry.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Wine rating (2017 guide) 88/100 (2014 vintage) (Good wine)
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2017 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the estate:
For several years now, this estate, skillfully managed by Etienne Loew, has won us over with its consistent production and excellent wines. He has found the key to fully unlocking the nuances of the soils around Westhoffen, and defends this somewhat isolated vineyard like a guardian watching over his ramparts! His touch is sure, his thinking open, and his wines are distinguished by their elegance. A winery worth discovering.
