"This wonderfully zippy, pebbly lime focused dry (2 grams residual sugar) wine
comes from youngish (23 years old!) vines perched overlooking the village of
Turckheim, giving a more accessible example of fine Alsace Riesling from a top
producer. Still quite minerally this will unfurl over the next 12-24 months.
Delicious with smoked mackerel."

The Humbrechts have been producing wines in Alsace since 1620. This is a superb
Gewurztraminer, rich, full-bodied with heady aromas of lychees and rose petals.

A richly explosive medium-dry wine with added concentration and complexity courtesy of botrytis fruit. A perfect foil to rich pâtés.

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 is tight,
compact and packed with seductive notes of honey and apricot, but there is also
an immense raciness and minerality showing huge potential for the years to
come. Drink 2010-2025.

Minerally on the nose with hints of flowers and spice on the palate. Very

As with other wines originating from the single Clos Windsbuhl vineyard (one
that famously missed out on 'Grand Cru' status due to not being submitted!),
one's struck by the cool minerally energy, a wine that speaks more of the soil
than the fruit per se. The 10 month long ferment tailed off leaving an off-dry
style with 49 grams of residuel, yet the palate is fantastically focused,
charged with bristling electricity, leaving an oh! so cleansing pear purity.
Needs time, till 2014 to see its best. Great with creamy veal or white meat
platters.

" One the finest vineyards in all of Alsace, responsible for Olivier's
scintillating Rieslings as well as for this terrific Vendange Tardive, produced
in exceptional vintage conditions to trigger a large proportion of rich
botrytised fruit (giving highly concentrated, complex juice) as well as
fabulous acidity, thanks to the vineyard's cool aspect & limestone bedrock.
Built for the long haul (20 + years), this delicate yet powerful wine tastes
dry due to perfect balance; the wine has 103 grams of residual sugar (vs 91 for
the 2005) & 13% abv. Match with the finest, freshest foie gras." David
Berry Green (BBR Buyer)

"While harvest rains may have caught out many, Olivier's Humbrecht biodynamic
soils were well prepared to soak it up and come out the other side into fine
weather. This mercurial Hunnawihr Clos, in the shadow of the Vosges forest
benefits from cool, slow-ripening muschelkalk calcareous soils to give a lesson
in limestone purity; still very young and taut, this dry wine (2 grams residual
sugar) needs 5 years to open up."

Benefiting from a cool, calcareous rocky terrain, Hunawihr's Clos Windsbuhl is
a legendary vineyard producing wines of great minerality, verve &
longevity. Unaffected by noble rot (which was diverted away to produce a
Vendange Tardive) in '02, the purity and definition of this racy wine is
staggering; indeed such is its stature that there is no inkling of its 15% abv.
Needs decanting at all cost & will age for 10 years.

"A dramatic dry wine (6.2 grams residual sugar) from the impossibly vertiginous
southfacing slopes of Clos St. Urbain, worked only by hand and whose
sedimentary volcanic soils combine to give a fabulous flinty, earthy, almost
peaty ripenes. The 2004 providing a cooler, smokier, more delicate
interpretation of this famous terroir, finely-tuned and persistent. Delicious
with sweetbreads now and over the next 10 yrs."
