Domaine Loew - Gewurztraminer Westhoffen 2016
88/100
Robert Parker
A "Son of the Sun," the Gewurztraminer is planted here on a gentle, north-facing slope of red marl, allowing for slow, optimal ripening while preserving freshness. The nose hints at classic aromas of pepper and rose, which are also present on the palate. We love the elegant sweetness that lends a delightful richness to this well-balanced wine.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2017 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Étienne Loew is courageously working to raise awareness of the little-known terroirs of Westhalten, where very few winemakers bottle their own wine. Meticulous winemaking and extended aging (primarily in stainless steel tanks) result in pure, precise wines; the Rieslings are very dry.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2017 guide): 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, 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 captivated us with the consistency of its production and the exceptional quality of its wines. He has found the key to fully understanding the nuances of the soils around Westhoffen, and he safeguards this somewhat isolated vineyard just as a guardian would watch over his ramparts! His approach is confident, his thinking open-minded, and his wines stand out for their elegance. A winery well worth discovering.
