Riesling Sommerberg "E" GC 2009 - Albert Boxler

Tasting notes

"Likely to again be designated only as “E” on its label, the Boxler 2009 Riesling Sommerberg Eckberg is bittersweetly perfumed with iris, lily-of-the-valley, and elder flower. Ripe apricot retains admirable juiciness on a softly-textured palate, finishing with bitterness of apricot kernel and a hint of alcoholic heat, but accompanied by a persistently alluring evocation of flowers. .(...)"

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.
