"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)

About the domain :
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, with the next generation completing their specialization. Established in 1980 and 1991 respectively, Philippe and Pascal manage orchards for distillation and 21 ha of vines, including 10 ha on the Bollenberg and plots in two grands crus.
