Domaine Zind Humbrecht
The wines of Olivier Humbrecht M.W. need little introduction, possessing great depth, exactitude as well as generosity…like the man himself.
The Humbrecht family viticultural roots can be traced back to The Thirty Years War of 1620. Today they own forty hectares across five villages in the Haut-Rhin, the southern half of the picturesque vineyards overlapping the Vosges foothills, treasured for its idyllic climate, tapestry of terroirs as much for its half-timbered houses.
The domaine has vines in 4 Grands Crus - Rangen (Thann) 5.5 ha, Brand (Turckheim) 2.4 ha, Hengst (Wintzenheim) 1.4 ha, Goldert (Gueberschwihr) 0.9 ha as well as Single Vineyards; Rotenberg (Wintzenheim) 1.8 ha, Clos Häuserer (Wintzenheim) 1.2 ha, Herrenweg (Turkheim) 11.5 ha, Clos Jebsal (Turkheim) 1.3 ha, Heimbourg (Turkheim) 4 ha and Clos Windsbuhl (Hunawihr) 5.2 ha.
Olivier has arguably overseen the most notable improvements in the estate’s illustrious history: a new cellar in 1992 while retaining the traditional ‘foudre’ oval barrels; initiating biodynamic practices in 1997 (certified in 2002); and the buying of a horse in 2006 to plough the vineyards!

The Clos Häuserer is perhaps the wine in 2009 that shows the most the lees influence and limestone origin. The nose is not exactly closed, there are massive rocky, iodine and lees aromas, but one can guess that it will take some time and air for the fruity elements to show up. The palate ... MORE |

The wines from Clos Windsbuhl tend to be delicate but with great balancing acidity and 2005 was an exceptional vintage for this vineyard. With the grapes reaching perfect ripeness and noble rot transforming the grapes into rich, sweet berries, this is arguably the pick of the crop. The palate ... MORE |

The Zind-Humbrecht 2008 Gewurztraminer Heimbourg – although harvested close to last – reflects the proclivity of this site in 2008 to have remained largely botrytis-free thanks to steady late September breezes. Lavender, peppermint and rose petal make for a lovely, sachet-like ... MORE |

Very open, generous nose, honeysuckle and honey, white fruits and very juicy melon, again that oatmeal richness. Off-dry, the rich, silky texture and the pure, ripe fruit filling the mouth, the pithy nature of the citrusy finish keeping it fresh. More direct that the Rotenberg, though not quite ... MORE |

The nose shows an elegant combination of fruity aromas (lychee, mango) and complex flowers. There is a sense of ripeness there that doesn’t betray the origin of the grapes. The Windsbuhl is already quite expressive, but remains delicate and well structured, which is the signature of its ... MORE |

The nose is still closed, barely showing any fruit, such is the importance of the flinty, smoky, gunpowder volcanic character. The nose is intense, but does need lots of air to open up. The palate is round, well balanced, long lasting and just like the nose, begs for time. The finish has a ... MORE |

Hints of licorice and jasmine add depth to the candied grapefruit peel, mandarin orange and juicy Gala apple flavors in this honeyed Gewürztraminer, while spice and tangy acidity create an overall elegant impression, with a smoky finish. (The Wine Spectator, November 2010) |

The nose shows the strong personality of the volcanic soil: flint stone, pencil lead, powdered rock, nicely balanced with more fruity aromas typical of the vintage. The palate is ample, quite rich, unctuous, showing a nice ripeness and again, typical volcanic flavours. The saline quality of ... MORE |

Year after year, Rangen defies the vintage: its vertical slopes, 350-450 metre elevation, volcanic soils imbuing its fruit and wine with a bold smoky herb, flint and earthy character, underlined by the raciest of structures, with rich botrytic, honeyed flavours dominating the palate; a real ...
