François Braun et Fils - Alsace Gewurztraminer Sainte Cécile blanc 2019
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"This 2019 plays a remarkable score (Hachette)"
Dedicated to the patron saint of musicians, this 2019 vintage plays a remarkable score. Harvested about a month after the start of the harvest, the Gewurztraminer has produced a superb sweet wine, reflecting the grape variety and a beautiful vintage. This wine immediately displays its richness with an intense golden yellow color and a generous, complex nose, which reveals varietal notes (lychee, mango, spices) and more original nuances of violet and toast. Equally aromatic, the palate is full-bodied, smooth and very persistent. Fresh, spicy (clove) and tinged with a slight bitterness, the finish leaves a memory of rare harmony. (Le Guide Hachette 2025)

About the estate:
A family with roots dating back to the 16th century in Orschwihr, some 25 km south of Colmar. Long involved in mixed farming, the estate began bottling after the Second World War, with François Braun, and the next generation completing its specialization. Settling in 1980 and 1991 respectively, Philippe and Pascal cultivate orchards for distillation and 21 hectares of vines, including 10 hectares on the Bollenberg and plots in two grands crus.
