Producer article for "Albert Boxler" |
| (last edited 8/21/2020 3:30:16 PM by srh) Producer website Description No domaine in Alsace makes better Rieslings than Albert Boxler. Maybe as good, but not better. Boxler has its’ vineyards around the charming hamlet of Niedermorschwihr, as well as in neighboring Turckheim. The production is ecological since many years. Jean Boxler is many generation removed from his ancestor of the same name that moved here from Switzerland in 1673. Currently rules the roost at this humble yet incredibly exciting domaine. Intense and serious about his land. Hi Craft. and Hi wine. Jean is the genius behind what are certainly some of the finest white wine in Alsace (and the world). All wines carry a code, which is: 10’s is Sylvaner 20’s is Pinot Blanc 30’s is Riesling 40’s is Muscat 50’s is Pinot Gris 60’s is Gewurztraminer In addition, the various vineyards have their designation: 1 is Grand Cru Sommerberg B and 2 are Grand Cru Brand D is Duttenstein, a part of Grand Cru Sommerberg E is Eckberg, a part of Grand Cru Sommerberg JV betyder Jeunes vignes, young vines K is Kirchberg, a part of Grand Cru Brand Hence, a wine labelled L31D is a Riesling Grand Cru Sommerberg from the section Duttenstein. The wines from Boxler shine due to their finesse, purity, complexity and … all the other things that characterize great wines. Even better, since Jean Boxler manages to obtain mature fruit in the cooler years as well as to maintain firm acidity the warmer vintages, a Boxler wine will never ever let you down.
