Alsace Gewurztraminer Boland Vendanges Tardives Albert Boxler 2018

The wine

This cuvée from late harvests by Boxler is imprinted with all the minerality and strength that we could hope for in a balanced dessert wine. Without any artifice, and with the help of a clean, rigorous agriculture adapted to the rhythm of each vine, Jean Boxler has the excellence of Alsace’s sweet wines at his fingertips. An image of balance and persistence, this is a fine bottle.

About the Producer Albert Boxler

An emblematic domain of the Alsace region, Albert Boxler comprises 19 hectares of which half are classed Grand Cru. Founded towards the end of the 1940s, the domain favours clean and careful growing. In any case, the vines planted on steep terrain cannot be reached by machines. The treatments used are organic and the yields are masterful. In the cellar, indigenous yeasts carry out their work, and the wines are matured in old barrels in order to avoid a flavour that is marked by wood, and stirring is banned. The current owner, Jean Boxler, seeks before all else to highlight the particularities of the grape varieties and the terroirs through fine, taut and crystalline wines. This talent is particularly embodied in the careful work of Jean Boxler, who sees wine as a space of freedom and expression. It is therefore as an artist that he produces his lingering wines, possessing a noble texture and great delicacy.
