#AndréInMemoriam (1026 views) | | | Tasted by JeffGMorris on 4/11/2005: A Day With Olivier Humbrecht (Turckheim, Alsace, France): Bright gold, a really vibrant looking wine. Nose full of smoke and gunflint. Very rich and very ripe with a long finish. Noticeable sweetness. This is just a baby and could be one of the best wines of the vintage given some time. (4916 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 2/2/2005: An Evening with Olivier Humbrecht (Domaine Zind-Humbrecht) (Chicago, IL): Tasting. Moderate spice and fruit aromas with an intensity hinting at intense sweetness. For now the unctuous, syrupy character is a bit tough to enjoy but hints at good potential going forward.

| Zind-Humbrecht Producer website
Domaine Zind-Humbrecht is one of the stars of the Alsace, in the northeastern corner of France. Fought over for decades by Germany and France, the region, according to Robert M. Parker Jr., “is perhaps the most underrated and underutilized source of great white wines in the world.” Zind-Humbrecht was created in 1959 by Leonard Humbrecht and Genevieve Zind. Their son Olivier is now instrumental in running the 99-acre estate, which the family still owns. Like many Alsatian producers, Zind-Humbrecht makes white wines in varying degrees of sweetness, from dessert whites to very dry wines. The vineyards are planted to 30% Riesling, 30% Gewurztraminer, 29% Pinot Gris, and smaller amounts of Pinot Noir, Muscat, Chardonnay, Auxerrois and Pinot Blanc. Up to 18,000 cases are produced annually. Many are Grand Crus and single vineyard bottlings.
