Ce Riesling grand cru Brand, élaboré par un grand vigneron, Albert Boxler, fait danser les papilles!Sa robe jaune or, brille de mille feux, son nez très fin pétrole d'une manière racée évoquant, en outre le pamplemousse et les fleurs blanches et sa bouche,vive,droite, racée, distinguée emplit la bouche sur la pêche jaune. Un bien beau vin de garde! Coup de foudre, bien sûr! (326 views) |

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.Riesling Varietal character (Appellation America) | A short history of Riesling (Uncork) | Riesling (wikipedia)BrandAlsace Grand Cru Brand exact outline on weinlagen.infoFrance Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)
