Riesling Sommerberg "Jeunes Vignes" GC 2009 - Albert Boxler

Tasting notes

"The “regular” Boxler 2009 Riesling Sommerberg originates in upper-elevation parcels just northeast of the village of Niedermorschwihr. Lily-of-the-valley, honeysuckle, pear, and quince on the nose reprise on a creamy, caressing palate, underlain by sweetness (from ten grams of residual sugar) sufficiently subtle and well-integrated that this wine can pass for dry. Hints of candied lime peel and cinnamon add zest to a satisfyingly long finish of liquid perfume and lusciously ripe pear and quince.(...)"

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

Albert Boxler, from whom the domaine takes its name, was the grandfather of current owner and winemaker Jean and was the man who took the initiative in bottling his own wines just after the Second World War. The label that is still in use today was painted at that time by Albert's cousin.

They produce riesling, pinot gris, pinot blanc, gewürztraminer, sylvaner and muscat and also make some fine sparkling Crémant wines using traditional methods and ageing in oak foudres

The Sommerberg hillside terminates in Jean’s driveway, making it easy to basically live in the vineyards, ensuring exceptionally healthy fruit year after year. After harvest, the wines are vinified and aged in old foudresin a small cellar underneath the family home until bottling.
