Gewurztraminer Réserve Albert Boxler 2020

The wine

This Gewürztraminer reserve produced by the Albert Boxler domain is one of the region’s indispensable references. Made partly from Brand and Sommerberg grands crus, this semi-dry wine carries the characteristics of its exceptional terroirs. This wine, far from the usual cuvées from this grape variety, opens with fine spiced and floral aromas, whilst to taste, its semi-dry and salty balance brings impressive energy.

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.
