Wines of Alsace

Zind-Humbrecht - Alsace GC Pinot Gris Rangen de Thann Clos Saint Urbain 2016

"A wine that will stay in your memory!

"Elegant smoky touch, pretty notes of yellow flowers, then fresh banana, on the palate the signature of the terroir is evident with that rubbed match note, it tastes totally dry (2 g!) which makes tasting even more immediate, the balance is splendid thanks to a rare unctuosity in the touch, finish carried by bitters and a roasted toasted note. A great wine" (Bettane+Desseauve)

Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Alsace Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal Sélection de Grains Nobles 2005 (37.5 cl)

"Grandiose (RVF)

"The Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal Selection de Grains Nobles 2005 can only be described as "out of the ordinary" [...] Aromas of tea, honey, apricot jam and fresh lemon assault you right from the glass. On the palate, it's almost gelatinous, but with a citric intensity and concentration worthy of a laser. [...] Count on a more bearable concentration in 15 to 20 years, and on the fact that it will outlive anyone reading this note today." (Wine Advocate 2008)

Domaine Zind-Humbrecht - Alsace Gewurztraminer Clos de Windsbuhl 2011

5/5 (3 reviews)

"A lot of class (Bettane+Desseauve) "

"Clos Windsbuhl is perhaps even more revealing of the advantages of a cool, windy, chalky site in a vintage where extremely high must weights were the price to pay for a truly full-flavored Gewurztraminer. Smoked meats, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, lychee, pineapple and the decadent scent of rose and lily combine to create a seductive aroma and a lush, creamy, multi-faceted palate. Not only is the fresh fruit surprisingly juicy on the finish, but the wine also has surprising buoyancy for a wine grading close to 14% alcohol, and a hint of salinity stimulates the salivary glands while perfectly complementing the liquid florality and aura of caramelization that also emerge. There's even a suggestion of chalk and stone to fuse this grandiose tribute to its site, grape variety and producer. The more it's exposed to the air, the more it reveals its charm." (Wine Advocate 2014)

Domaine Weinbach - Alsace Grand Cru Schlossberg Riesling 2022

"The oldest cru in Alsace with remarkable finesse!

"How can you resist the delicacy and finesse of this elegant dry Riesling? So light on its feet, despite the major stony minerality that reaches every nook and cranny of your palate. So pure and straightforward in the crystalline finish that just won't stop." (James Suckling 2024)

Domaine Weinbach - Alsace Riesling Cuvée Théo 2022

5/5 (1 review)

"A successful vintage of remarkable refinement".

"At once juicy, concentrated and refined, this is an astonishing wine destined to be drunk more or less every day. Rich aromas of stone fruits, fresh almonds and a touch of tangerine. The very long, silky finish is of stunning balance and finesse." (James Suckling 2024)

Domaine Weinbach - Alsace Les Vignes du Prêcheur 2023

"Thanks to complantation, taste all of Alsace in one bottle!"

Les Vignes du Prêcheur is a cuvée from a parcel below the Kaefferkopf grand cru. A blend of 5 Alsatian grape varieties, this wine reveals seductive aromas of white flowers, peach and apricot. The palate is full-bodied, light and generous, with a tangy texture.

François Braun et Fils - Alsace Gewurztraminer Sainte Cécile blanc 2019

"This 2019 plays a remarkable score (Hachette)"

"Dedicated to the patron saint of musicians, this 2019 plays a remarkable score. Harvested about a month after the start of the harvest, the Gewurztraminer has produced a superb mellowness, a reflection of the grape variety and a fine vintage. From the outset, this wine displays its richness in an intense golden yellow color and a generous, complex nose, with varietal notes (lychee, mango, spices) and more original nuances of violet and toast. Equally aromatic, the palate is full-bodied, unctuous and long-lasting. Fresh, spicy (clove), tinged with a slight bitterness, the finish leaves a memory of rare harmony". (Le Guide Hachette 2025)

Domaine Meyer-Fonné - Alsace Pinot Noir Altenbourg 2022

"[...] From the outset, the bouquet displays grandeur, both in its plurality and subtlety. Graphite nuances combine with morello cherry aromas, followed by a hint of dark berries. On the palate, the wine lives up to the promise of its bouquet. It is dense, deep and carried by compact tannins that offer power and perspective, while acidity confers temperament and uprightness. In the broad context of 2022, this is balancing and structuring". (Yves Beck 2024)

Domaine Meyer-Fonné Alsace Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Furstentum 2021 (Moelleux)

"A harmonious, inviting wine with a salivating finish! (Yves Beck) "

"Radiant, the Furstentum gewurztraminer is an eloquent wine for laying down: the liveliness of its sugars, the intensity of its citrus flavors and the quality of its bitters will reward patient amateurs." (RVF Guide 2025)

Meyer-Fonné - Alsace Riesling Grand Cru Wineck-Schlossberg blanc 2022

"A blend of floral notes, fruit and gunflint!"

"The Wineck-Schlossberg is straightforward and brilliant, delivering one of its finest expressions here, with a scope built on bitters." (RVF 2025 guide)

Vignoble du Rêveur - Alsace La Vigne en Rose 2022 (demi-sec)

"Taste discovery!

The union of 2 emblematic Alsace grape varieties! The nose is a balance between the floral and exotic notes of gewurztraminer and the lemony hints of riesling. The airy, full-bodied palate envelops the whole without ever weighing it down. A real taste discovery. Packaged in glass stopper

Vignoble du Rêveur - Alsace Artisan 2021 (vin orange, sec)

"This cuvée and a good foie gras ... a dream at the table!"

Artisan 2021 presents a broad aromatic palette on the nose, with notes of papaya, candied orange, rose petals and toasted malt. Viney and tannic, the palate is lively and lemony. A wine to discover with foie gras, for example... (Vin orange is a white maceration wine) Packaged in glass stoppers.

Frey-Sohler - Crémant d'Alsace Riesling

3.9/5 (76 reviews)

"Sparkling Alsace

"While the domaine offers the full range of Alsace wines, the village of Scherwiller and its surrounding area is home to many terroirs favorable to Riesling, the only grape variety used in this crémant from the 2020 harvest. On the nose, floral notes (honeysuckle, lime blossom) are accompanied by a "petrol-like" minerality characteristic of the grape variety. This character is reflected in a supple attack on the palate, followed by a lively finish". (Le Guide Hachette 2024) Daring, but successful!

Sophie Schaal Alsace Gewurztraminer (moelleux) 2023

"Gourmandise d'Alsace

Sophie Schaal continues to delight us with this well-balanced Gewurztraminer, with its lovely bitters and notes typical of the grape variety. A gourmet wine that knows how to please!

Julien Schaal - Alsace Schiste Grand Cru Kastelberg 2023

3/5 (1 review)

"A great wine in the making (Yves Beck)".

"The bouquet reveals subtle fruity notes with nuances of apricot, vine peach, peppermint and lemongrass. The classic flinty notes are also present, like a foundation, with the aim of ensuring the olfactory backbone. On the palate, the wine adopts a progressive, cautious attitude. It can count on the incisive, structuring character of its acidity, but it hardly wants to hurry. Why should it? It's built to last a few decades. Bitterness also plays a key role in this wine's configuration. It takes the back seat in terms of taste, imparting vigor and enhancing aromatic expression, both in terms of intensity and persistence. The wine knows exactly where it wants to go, but it doesn't yet know how! All the necessary elements are in place to get there, so it logically opts for patience and time". (Yves Beck 2024)
