Rating: Robert Parker 85/100
This Muscat comes from very old vines (over 50 years old) in the Herrenweg vineyard, which blends the Alsace Muscat grape with a small proportion of Muscat Ottonel, an earlier-ripening variety. It currently expresses the classic fruit and floral aromas of the Muscat variety, and the vintage lends it subtle notes of undergrowth and an interesting mineral touch. A truly seductive wine!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2024 guide): 5* Stars (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)
About the estate:
For three decades, this estate has been a model of Alsatian viticulture, telling the story of the Humbrecht family. Léonard, the founder, was a visionary who acquired the region’s finest terroirs, including the famous Rangen. Olivier, his son, who brilliantly introduced the principles of biodynamics as early as the 1990s. And today, Pierre-Émile, who joined the estate during the very challenging 2021 vintage, continues their legacy, particularly with the latest acquisitions on the Sommerberg.

Rated estate (2024 guide) 4*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience)
About the estate:
An tireless ambassador for his wines and the region, Olivier Humbrecht—the first Frenchman to earn the title of Master of Wine—has long understood the importance of vineyard work. He converted the estate to biodynamic farming in 1999 and is one of its leading advocates, serving as president of the Biodyvin label. This approach has allowed him to avoid botrytis and reduce alcohol levels. The wines have evolved over the years and now exhibit a decidedly dry style, with the large casks aging them several meters underground. Like all great Alsace wines, they reach their full potential after a few years or decades of aging. The Clos Windsbuhl is a must-try, and the Rangen de Thann grows in prominence with time. Pierre-Emile, Olivier’s son, has just joined the estate. The excellence of this production, respected by all, allows this iconic property to enter the pantheon of our guide with a fourth star.

It has a strong, fairly spicy flavor an hour after opening, but tastes much better the next day

Undrinkable, spoiled wine, tastes like mushrooms!!! Apparently, 2006 was a good year for mushrooms, which explains the strong aroma of this vintage....
