Grown on Tertiary marl, this Gewurztraminer stands out for its lovely acidity and refined bitterness, with distinct citrus notes. Nevertheless, the wine retains its rich, luscious character. Delightful notes of passion fruit, candied lemon, and ginger are clearly discernible on the nose. A beautiful Gewurztraminer! Sealed with a screw cap.

About the estate:
Biodynamic farming always takes a few years to show results, both in terms of root development and soil health, and Michel Chapoutier knows this well, having purchased this estate in 2009 with a few friends who are lovers of fine wines. Located in northern Alsace, on a vein of blue schist, the estate is gradually finding its footing. The single-vineyard Rieslings (Burg, Buehl, and Fels) are beginning to reveal the subtle nuances of their soil.

Review by Mr. ALAIN S. Published on 12/16/2015
I was very disappointed when I received the order—the bottles have screw caps. It doesn't seem like this was mentioned at the time of purchase. It doesn't look very high-quality.
