"A wine you'll never forget!"
The Clos-Saint-Urbain (named after the small chapel in the middle of the vineyard) 2024 shines from the very first whiff with intense aromas of smoke, burnt peat, and flint. The palate is full-bodied and intense, with a racy structure on the finish. This is a cuvée with a strong personality that is sure to make an impression!

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—a model of Alsatian winemaking—has told the story of the Humbrecht family. Léonard, the founder, was a visionary who acquired the region’s finest terroirs, including the famous Rangen. His son, Olivier, brilliantly introduced biodynamic principles as early as the 1990s. And today, Pierre-Émile, who joined the estate during the very challenging 2021 vintage, is continuing their legacy—particularly with the latest acquisitions on the Sommerberg.

Wine rated (2027 guide) 98/100
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 wine:
Its Pinot Gris counterpart shines with its refinement and precision, imbued with all the energy of the terroir and boasting exceptional fruit integrity.
About the estate:
An tireless ambassador for his wines and the region, Olivier Humbrecht—the first French person to earn the Master of Wine designation—has long understood the importance of work in the vineyard. 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 to viticulture has allowed him to avoid botrytis and reduce alcohol content. The wines have evolved over the years and now exhibit a decidedly dry style, while the large oak casks age them several meters underground. Like all great Alsatian 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 really comes into its own with age. Pierre-Emile, Olivier’s son, has just joined the estate. The excellence of this production, respected by all, has earned this iconic estate a place in the pantheon of our guide with a fourth star.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 97/100
About the wine:
The 2024 Pinot Gris Rangen de Thann Clos Saint Urbain Grand Cru comes from a very low yield of 12 hl/ha. It exhibits a very slight reductive note. On the palate, however, it unfolds with a burst of juiciness where tart red apple, lemon, grapefruit, and pale peach mingle, all framed by a magnificent, gentle bitterness that makes your mouth water. It has a beautiful pearly texture—smooth, supple, luminous, and unencumbered. Simply magnificent. (Very dry)
