Riesling Grand Cru Brand 1997 - Albert Boxler

Tasting notes

"(...) Weighty, fruit-laden and endowed with a little residual sugar I think, but not enough to make it overtly sweet, it also has a slightly bitter, peppery edge which gives a welcome bite, and which carries through to the finish where there is a fine, slightly honeyed length. Brilliant wine, drinkable now, but also full of potential. I must look out for more wines from Boxler on the basis on this tasting. (...)"

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

Albert Boxler, from whom the domaine takes its name, was the grandfather of current owner and winemaker Jean and was the man who took the initiative in bottling his own wines just after the Second World War. The label that is still in use today was painted at that time by Albert's cousin.

They produce riesling, pinot gris, pinot blanc, gewürztraminer, sylvaner and muscat and also make some fine sparkling Crémant wines using traditional methods and ageing in oak foudres

The Sommerberg hillside terminates in Jean’s driveway, making it easy to basically live in the vineyards, ensuring exceptionally healthy fruit year after year. After harvest, the wines are vinified and aged in old foudresin a small cellar underneath the family home until bottling.
