Robert Parker

"Golden yellow, the Pinot Gris Bruderbach Le Menhir 2014 offers a rich, intense, spicy/lactic nose with hints of botrytis [...]. Full-bodied, round and elegant, with rather fluid but still vibrant acidity, fine tannins and long minerality, this is an intense, vinous but pure, fresh and mineral Pinot from chalky sandstone soils, vinified dry. The finish is clean, with good intensity and length, but also hints of burnt milk. Try this Pinot with intense fish dishes. Ready to drink." (Wine Advocate 2017 - Robert Parker)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domain rated (2017 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

Étienne Loew fights courageously to make known the little-known terroirs of Westhalten, where very few winegrowers bottle their wines. Careful vinification and long ageing (mainly in stainless steel tanks) produce pure, precise wines, and the Rieslings are very dry.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France

Domaine rated (2017 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the domain :

For several years now, this estate, skilfully managed by Etienne Loew, has been winning us over with its consistent production and the very high quality of its wines. He has found the key to fully embracing the nuances of the soils around Westhoffen, and defends this somewhat isolated vineyard like a guardian watching over his rampart! His touch is sure, his thinking open, and his wines stand out for their elegance. An estate worth discovering.
