| VM 90+ (11/2003): Pale gold color. Explosive fruit aromas of peach, quince and orange zest, complicated by butter and smoke. Big, rich, dusty and chewy, with a flavor of orange marmalade. Very dense, strong pinot gris with noteworthy inner-mouth energy. Finishes very long, with no impression of heaviness. It's becoming increasingly difficult to find seriously rich but dry pinot gris like this. Stephen Tanzer. |

WA 96 (10/2002): Sweet chamomile is interwoven with botrytis in the aromatics of the 2000 Pinot Gris Sonnenglanz Vendanges Tardives. Medium-bodied, complex, and powerful, this raisin, poached pear, and apricot-flavored wine is exceptionally harmonious. Drink it between 2005 and 2020.
VM 89-91 (7/2001): Subdued but tangy aroma dominated by peach. Thick and generous, with ripe, well-integrated acidity nicely framing the pit fruit and brown spice flavors. A long, pliant fruit bomb. Stephen Tanzer. |

Riesling "K" Grand Cru Brand |
$75 |
1 |
|
| |
VM 95 (2/2016): Vivid straw-green. Almost shut down at first, this wine opens with aeration to offer delicate spice and honey aromas and multilayered flavors of stone fruits, lime and grapefruit. It is rich and spicy in typical Brand style, and finishes long, piquant and minerally, with a balsamic element and repeating grapefruit and lime notes. Much richer but less crystalline than the Sommerberg Eckberg, this bottling from Boxler offers another study in the diversity of Riesling expression in different terroirs. As it’s still very youthful and quite closed, I’d forget about it in the cellar for another 5 years and enjoy it for another 20 years after that. If you must try a bottle now, remember to decant this beauty at least an hour or two ahead. (Drink between 2020-2040). Ian D'Agata.
WA 94 (10/2015): The 2013 Riesling Grand Cru Brand K comes from the Kirchberg section, which was planted in 1946. Sometimes the grapes are used for the regular Brand, especially in warm vintages like 2009 when the Brand tends to be too rich. In cooler years such as 2013, Boxler picks, ferments and bottles the Kirchberg separately. In 2013, it was picked at the same time as the Sommerberg E, so 10 days later than the regular Brand. The wine is deep, rich, and intense on the nose and displays lemon flavors mixed with perfumed herbal/floral aromas. Full-bodied, very rich, and concentrated on the palate but full of vitality and tension, this very powerful and elegant Kirchberg reveals a compact structure but asks for a couple of years of bottle aging. |

WA 95 (8/2014): Boxler's 2010 Riesling Brand offers a scintillating and intriguing bouquet of iris, gentian, thyme and myriad distilled floral and herbal essences. A scent of fresh lime barely hints at the brightness of lusciously ripe acidity that follows on a firm, polished palate. There is extraordinary focus and resonance on exhibit here, and the liquefied floral and herbal perfumes mingled with lime and white peach to serve as backdrop for a veritable cascade of shimmering mineral impingements in a vibratory finish. "A late, cool year such as 2010," opines Jean Boxler, "is most interesting of all with Riesling on pure granite" such as exhibited here. Plan to relish this vinous triumph through at least 2028.
VM 89+ (11/2012): Golden-straw. Very expressive nose combines orange peel, flowers and honey, with an obvious fusel note already emerging. Fat, silky and full, with almost one-dimensional flavors of tropical fruits and stones. Opulent and mouthfilling, but finishes with enough grip to avoid coming off as blowsy. This wine strikes me as distinctly less refined than the Sommerberg. Jean Boxler says the Brand is always ready to drink earlier than his other rieslings. In 2010, these grapes were harvested before all the others--about eight days before the Sommerberg because they were already the ripest riesling grapes of all. Ian D'Agata. |

WA 95 (6/2017): Boxler's 2015 Riesling Grand Cru Sommerberg opens with the discreet charm and aristocratic distinction of a great wine. Very pure, clear, fine and elegant on the nose, with fine stony and herbal flavors but also ripe stone fruit and floral aromas, the 2015 tells the story of its origin in the glass in an excitingly subtle yet deep way. The palate is great! It is intense and juicy, nicely concentrated and ripe, with a touch of sweetness but gorgeous finesse, vitality and piquancy. The finish is pure and salty and develops a fascinating juiciness that explodes in the finish. This is not a wine for mouthfeel drinkers, but it is surely one of the finest, most delicate and balanced Rieslings you can find from this vintage. The combination of concentration, complexity, structure, minerality and sweetness (due to the low acidity, higher alcohol and extract) could hardly be better.
VM 93 (4/2018): Bright straw. Open-knit, spicy aromas of tropical fruit and herbs are very granite-driven. Lemony and lively, featuring a slightly chewy quality to the licorice, mineral and stone fruit flavors. Closes long and tactile with lemony mineral bite. Lovely Sommerberg, made from Boxler’s two parcels of vines that never undergo water stress (and they didn’t in hot 2015 either), blessed as they are with deeper soil. This is more harmonious than Boxler’s 2014 Riesling Sommerberg and seems less sweet than that wine at the same stage of development. (Drink between 2023-2033). Ian D'Agata. |

| |
| VM 93 (4/2018): Bright straw-green. Citrus and floral aromas and flavors are complicated by strong spicy notes. Ripe but juicy, offering suave flavors that persist nicely on the lime-accented, youthfully chewy finish. This surprisingly refined wine (the Dudenstein never strikes me as giving especially elegant wines) is one of Boxler’s Rieslings from this site that I’ve liked best at a similar stage of development. This site has richer, slightly deeper soil than other sites on the Sommerberg (it can get as deep as two feet), so the Dudenstein rarely suffers from water stress and always gives a much richer wine than other nearby slopes. It is, however, a very difficult site to harvest because the grapes have to be picked quickly - in fact, it’s always the first site to be harvested by Boxler, as sugar accumulates so easily that it becomes hard in some years to make a totally dry wine. (Drink between 2023-2030). Ian D'Agata. |

|
| |
| WA 94 (6/2017): From vines planted between 1946 and 1953 on the limestone section of the granite terroir, the 2015 Riesling Grand Cru Sommerberg Dudenstein is very clear, pure and flinty on the nose, stunningly cool, very precise and with lovely notes of lemon leaves and peel! Boxler picked the Dudenstein at the first of his grands crus and very early at around 100 degrees Oechsle. The deeper soil produces large Rieslings, but this 2015 is most of all pure, finessed and salty and reveals a lot of vitality and finesse. |

Creamy bergamots, mocha, and sugar-coated minerals are found in this wine?s flavorful personality. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. |

VM 90+ (2/2016): Straw-green. Intriguing aromas of lemon, green apple, pear and smoke are lifted by notes of lavender and cinnamon. Supple yet quite bright in the mouth, showing good acid cut to the juicy flavors of ripe pear, baked apple and sweet spices. Finishes very dry and pure, with noteworthy persistence and an impression of high acidity. I found this to be extremely lemony ("at 2 g/l residual sugar and roughly 7 g/l total acidity, this is the driest Pinot Gris I have ever made,” admitted Pierre Trimbach), but as the estate holds onto its wines for at least a couple of years prior to releasing them, it's likely this will have rounded out considerably by the time you get a chance to taste it. A resolutely dry, food-friendly, very promising Alsace Pinot Gris. (Drink between 2018-2026). Ian D'Agata.
WA 89 (6/2017): The 2014 Pinot Gris Réserve offers a clear and aromatic bouquet of ripe and intense white fruits along with some white champignon aromas. Bottled with 2.5 grams of residual sugar, this is a very piquant and intense Pinot that is great to have with food thanks to its salinity and grip. It may not be fully ripe, but it's pretty functional. There is almost no hint of suzuki here, at maximum a very tiny bit. |

VM 91 (12/2006): Distinctly candied aroma of pineapple syrup. Silky on entry, then fairly dry but exotic in the middle palate, with a strong liquid stone flavor and some apparent alcohol. A powerful, dense wine that tastes a bit sweeter than its 8 grams of sugar despite its pronounced stony character. Conveys a strong impression of soil character. Trimbach notes that the wine began exotic, with limited complexity, but is much more minerally now.
WS 91 (11/2009): Petrol and crushed pine needle flavors lead the way in this elegant white, accenting floral, apricot, star fruit and honey notes. Hints of mushroom and smoke come into play as well, with fleshy acidity that bolsters it all. There's a tangy, tangerine- and spice-laced finish. Drink now through 2013. 200 cases imported. |

VM 95 (12/2006): Pale, bright yellow. Ripe pineapple, liquid stone and exotic honey on the nose, with a spicy lift that suggests an oak influence this wine does not possess. On entry, this is sweeter and creamier than the Frederic Emile, but it livens up quickly in the middle, showing powerful minerality and sharply delineated flavors of liquid stone, pineapple and citrus peel. Still, this conveys a distinctly glyceral impression that suggests more sweetness than its 5 grams of residual sugar, no doubt a function of the 20% or so botrytized berries (in contrast to the Frederic Emile, which included no botrytis). Communicates an impression of power with elegance, finishing minerally and long but not austere. Pierre Trimbach compared this wine to the estate's great 1990. This is already showing more Rosacker terroir than riesling character. About 9,000 bottles were made from 1.5 hectares of vines.
WA 94 (2/2008): The 2004 Riesling Clos Ste-Hune smells deliciously, mysteriously and complexly of grapefruit, blood orange, sassafras, mirabelle distillate, licorice, truffle, musk, lily, and chalk. Creamy and much richer on the palate than its Frederic Emile counterpart, it displays no less sheer density, stony minerality, or penetration. The finish here is truly palate staining, and as multi-faceted as the aromas. It would probably be a shame to uncork a bottle (especially given the aftermarket prices I have been seeing on these wines!) for at least a couple of more years after it is released in 2009. |

WA 93 (4/2010): Fresh lime, yellow plum, musk, and intimations of chalk dust in the nose of Trimbach’s 2006 Riesling Clos Ste-Hune usher in a strikingly fresh, firm palate possessed of meat stock and game-like animal undertones. This bottling of barely over 12.5% in alcohol is much more tightly-stitched than the corresponding Frederic Emile, and finishes with penetrating, bright length, combined with overtly crushed stone minerality. No Alsace 2006 of my experience can top this for focus, clarity, or long-term (I would estimate 12-15 years’) aging potential, although the Frederic Emile is in its very different way more striking, as well as more fun to drink now.
WS 93 (10/2011): Bright and focused, with bracing acidity and a strong undercurrent of saline minerality. Flavors of quince, green pear, lemon verbena and dried apricot wrap around the minerally core, but it takes hold again on the finish with lots of lingering notes of white pepper, fleur de sel and hot stone. This purrs like a finely tuned Ferrari, combining both power and finesse. Drink now through 2030. 700 cases made.
VM 91 (12/2008): Good bright, pale yellow. Sexy aromas of pineapple, mint and crushed stone; seems purer than the Frederic Emile. Then more pristine in the mouth as well, with little sign of botrytis to the citrus, stone and mineral flavors. Fatter than the Fred. Finishes broad, juicy and quite dry, with light resiny and fusel hints. A lovely 2006 riesling. |

VM 95 (2/2016): Pale yellow-green. Vibrant aromas of mirabelle, lemon, crushed stone and fresh herbs, with a nuance of Chablis-like oyster shell. Densely packed and youthfully closed, even austere, but hints at lovely high notes of jasmine, lemon verbena and lichee. Wonderfully stylish and intense in the mouth, closing long and precise, with orange zest, mineral and spice notes. This will evolve gracefully for a long time. Ian D'Agata.
JS 95 (9/2015): Aromas of sliced apple, pear, lime rind and camembert. Full-bodied, dense and layered with so much ripe fruit and power. Then acidity takes off. Wow. Coming out next year.
WA 93 (5/2011): The combination of smoky pungency and citric brightness of Trimbach’s 2008 Riesling Clos Ste-Hune is almost eye-wateringly intense – and that’s just on inhaling! In the mouth, the dynamic interplay of energetic, efficacious citrus and white currant with chalk, salt, crushed stone, and apricot kernel will keep you stimulated and intrigued long after the flavors have faded, and that is already a long time. This buoyant, handsomely austere Ste-Hune will not require recharging over the next couple of decades, and in time should put on a truly spectacular display. |

Enters with lime and green apple notes, then turns riper and richer in the middle, showing more exotic banana and passion fruit qualities with air. Finishes very fleshy, saline and long. This is bigger but not obviously better than the 2011 Frederic Emile and struck me as a rather salty, chunky version of CSH. Ian d'Agata. |

JS 96 (9/2015): This has incredible white pepper and slate aromas and flavors with dried fruits such as lemons, limes and papaya. Full-bodied, dry and very intense. It goes on for minutes. This won't be available until 2019.
WS 95 (7/2017): This sleek, elegant white crackles with acidity. Tightly meshed today, showing more petrol and mineral character than white peach, spice and pine notes, but the density and length should make this a superstar of the cellar. To be released Spring 2020. Best from 2022 through 2035.
WA 95 (10/2015): Cool, aristocratic and iron-rich on the nose where some flinty notes are displayed the 2012 Riesling Clos Ste Hune starts very pure and demanding on the nose. On the palate you can find as much energy and tension as in an electric power station. The wine is very clear, fresh and pure, shows lots of salt on the very elegant and seductive palate. The finish is very long and complex and indicates a terrific aging potential. |

Muschelkalk limestone dominates the palate, which reveals a powerful, dense and still quite bitter Riesling whose compact phenols still cage this dormant Riesling on a stony and saline bed. The finish, however is very potent and long. A bigger glass and more time probably would have helped the wine significantly, because I believe it's greater than this score is suggesting. 13.3% stated alcohol plus four grams per liter of residual sugar. Tasted at the domaine in May 2022. |

VM 97+ (4/2018): Luminous straw-yellow. Complex, mint-accented aromas of nectarine, tangerine and powdered stone, plus a hint of licorice. Then bright, juicy and dense, showing outstanding acid-sugar balance and a penetrating juiciness to the stone fruit and herbal flavors. Finishes multilayered and very long, displaying noteworthy clarity and limy cut on the saline finish. Wine lovers everywhere know just how great Frédéric Emile Rieslings can be, but this looks to be a real knockout in the making; I absolutely love this wine’s mineral drive and precision. It pulls off the neat trick of being both very ageworthy and also lovely to drink right now. I was happy to know that my palate was still working after an extremely long day of tasting when I told Pierre that in this vintage of Frédéric Emile I found more of the Geisberg than the Osterberg (in most vintages, the wine is a blend of 60/40 Osterberg-Geisberg, at times even 70/30, but this year it’s more like 55/45). Ian d'Agata.
JS 96 (7/2019): The lemon-sherbet note here is really beautiful. Then comes a wealth of herbs, ranging from thyme to parsley, with a touch of sea salt, before turning to more floral nuances, such as cherries and almond blossom. The powerful acidity seems to surround the whole mouth and makes this almost like licking a lemon; the unmistakable dryness is all the more enjoyable because of it. Long and very elegant on the finish. Drink now. |

Glyceral-thick and silky on entry, then the bracing acids take over the palate, giving extraordinary intensity and penetration to this exhilarating wine. A great expression of pure botrytis, with a mounting, palate-staining finish that goes on for minutes. This will make for great drinking over the next 20 years. This one hit my G-spot. Stephen Tanzer.
WA 95 (3/2017): Served during a dinner at the Auberge de l'Ill in June 2016, the 2004 Riesling Schlossberg Sélection de Grains Nobles showed a very clear and precise, yet subtle and elegant bouquet that still reflected the Schlossberg terroir. This was also the case on the palate, where it wasn't the sweetness and concentration of the Riesling that was the most fascinating feature, but instead the great finesse, freshness and mineral piquancy. This SGN is full of intensity and tension, and the long and persistent finish reveals a stimulating grip. |

| JS 98 (6/2021): So spicy and smoky with a hint of mushroom, this is an enormously deep and concentrated dry pinot gris that’s just beginning to open up. With some aeration, ripe melon character is added to the expansive picture. Tons of spice at the imposing, dry finish and just a hint of raisin. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but better from 2023. |

| JS 98 (6/2022): Super smoky, spicy and flinty, this imposing and enveloping pinot gris is barely off-dry. Welcome to a world of smoky and textural complexity on the deep and refined palate. The power and concentration are almost as complete as the ripeness, effortlessly handling the 13.5% alcohol. Super-long, creamy and spicy finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. |

| JS 98 (6/2021): A giant of minerality with enormous structure, this also delights you with the stunningly ripe apricot and pineapple fruit that’s wrapped around its dense core. This will surely only get better for many years to come, as it slowly reveals its deep riches. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but better from 2023. |

| JS 97 (11/2020): A unique dry riesling with an astonishing combination of mini banana, mirabelle, baking spice and sea salt. Super concentrated and super elegant, this has a level of poise that’s very rare in the 2018 vintage. I love the way the silky finish caresses the palate. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. |
