Gewurztraminer Rangen Clos Saint Théobald Schoffit (Domaine) 1994

The wine

This Gewürztraminer is cultivated on the volcanic terroir of Grand Cru Rangen, the pride of Domaine Schoffit. Lightly smoky on the nose, it has a dense and silken mouthful with delicate notes of lemongrass and a fine long finish. Pairs ideally with curried chicken.

Domaine Schoffit was originally based in the heart of Colmar and their la Harth vineyard is closely linked to the history of the town. In order to overcome urban sprawl, the domaine sensibly extended to the south in 1980, into the territory of rare and rarefied Grand Cru Rangen. The Domaine covers three distinct terroirs: the gravelly soil on the plane of La Harth vineyard near Colmar, the granite soil of Grand Cru Sommerberg and the volcanic rock of Le Rangen in Thann.
