Ok Riesling, but typically Alsace because it shows some fat. On the other hand it doesn't have the Alsace sweetness and it is in fact nicely dry. Green apples mostly and a basic, clean and ok wine.
This is a blend of Riesling and Pinot Gris, but the fact sheet doesn't mention the percentages. The wine is nicely dry with green apple acidity. The aromatics of the Pinot Gris are surely noticeable. Not an overly complex wine that needs all your attention, but certainly a nice wine with Asian kitchen or the more delicate sea fruits.
Nice and clean basic Pinot Gris with a slight touch of sweetness, melon and white peach. Not so very aromatic. Ok acidity and a medium length. Certainly an ok wine.
A very grapy and truly Pinot Gris bouquet. On the palate full bodied and a bit fat. A lot of litchi. Firm but good acidity, mostly lime. Also that Alsatian sweetness, but certainly a good quality and clean wine. 87 - 88
This is a Gewürtztraminer as you expect it to be. Aromatic, full bodied and with a hint of sweetness, but not too much of it. Pleasant acidity and clean. A very well made basic Gewürtztraminer.
Just limited notes. On the palate a firm amount of lemon and lime acidity, a bit fat. Some grapefruit bitterness in the finish. Ok and clean wine, but quite basic.
Bouquet with white fruits and a pleasant dose of toasted oak which the fruits can handle. On the palate white fruits as well, a firm amount of good lemon and lime acidity. Quite full bodied. A really nice wine. Still youthful. Might improve a bit with a few years of cellaring. for today 89.

Red forest fruits in the bouquet. On the palate not a very concentrated wine. Cherries, some earthy flavors, a bit drying tannin. Not really impressive, but an ok basic wine.

Not a wine to write a book about, but this is certainly a nice and clean Pinot Blanc from the Alsace. Green apples and nicely dry. Well made wine.
