Tasting Notes"From vines averaging 48 years of age, the 2018 Gewurztraminer Clos Windsbuhl offers an aromatically still discreet yet spicy and yeasty-scented nose of roses, lychees, Indian spices and crushed stones in a shy yet substantial way. Full-bodied, round and grippy on the palate, this is a rich and (not overly) sweet Gewurz with soupier tension on the aromatic and fruity, very complex and persistent finish. Like all the wines from the Muschelkalk terroir of the Clos Windsbuhl, this is a seriously complex and tensioned yet still underdeveloped wine that needs at least two years to gain in finesse and easiness. Bitter orange flavors and toasted, salted peanut flavors on the finish. Very, very promising! Bottled in August 2019. 13.2% alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in January 2023. 94 points" Stephan Reinhardt, RobertParker.com------"Rich, powerful and frankly sweet, but somehow cool with delicate exotic-fruit character (not just lychee), this is a highly structured gewurz that will need some years of bottle age to reveal its ample treasures. I love the way the smokiness builds at the very long, succulent finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but better from 2021. 96 points" jamessuckling.com |

Tasting Notes"The 2018 Gewurztraminer Rangen de Thann Clos Saint Urbain combines the purity and unique spiciness, flintiness and ethereal character of the vineyard with the classic lychee and rose petal aromas on a deep, intense and concentrated bouquet. Lush and round on the palate, this is an intense, very long and sustainable Gewurz with fine tannins and a dense, complex and saline as well as grippy finish. The wine is tight but also charming in its generous fruit and lush elegance. There is richness combined with finesse and vitality, and it's an outstanding representative of this great, unique and eternal grape variety. Although filled with 77.8 grams per liter of residual sugar, this tastes like a rather medium-sweet wine. Fabulous. Bottled in January 2020 with 13.2% alcohol and a natural cork. Tasted in January 2023. 96 points" Stephan Reinhardt, RobertParker.com------"This is an almost overwhelming wine, but not in the usual way that gewurz does that through lychee and spicy intensity. This is so smoky with complex, exotic-fruit aromas and wild-herb notes. The caramel and buttery richness of the palate is beautifully balanced by the salty and smoky character that dominates the long finish. Yes, there’s some sweetness in there, but not too much to serve this with hard cheeses. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. 97 points" jamessuckling.com |

Tasting Notes"The 2018 Pinot Gris Clos Windsbuhl offers lovely concentration and depth. Apricot, passion fruit, tangerine oil and dried flowers all develop nicely in the glass. I would give the 2018 a year or two in bottle to soften, as it is a bit severe today. 94 points" Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com ------"From vines averaging 49 years of age, the 2018 Pinot Gris Clos Windsbuhl opens with a deep, intense and concentrated, clearly limestone-driven and pure bouquet with concentrated ripe fruit aromas but also yeasty, nutty and phenolic notes. On the palate, this is a full-bodied, rich, refined and very elegant, balanced, stimulating saline and tightly structured Pinot Gris with fine, ripe tannins and stunning, vibrantly mineral acidity. The finish is long, intense and finely bitter, still textural and very long. Bottled in January 2020. 14.3% stated alcohol plus 6.3 grams per liter of residual sugar. Natural cork. Tasted in January 2023. 94 points" Stephan Reinhardt, RobertParker.com------"Don’t expect a lush Alsace pinot gris, because this generous and highly structured dry pinot gris is still tightly wound and the main aromas are smoke, toast, nutty apple and fresh mint. Built to last, though the long finish is supple, it’s fully packed with chalky character. Those who are patient will be richly rewarded! From biodynamically grown grapes. Better after 2021. 95 points" jamessuckling.com |

Tasting Notes"A giant Alsace pinot gris that’s brimming with smoke, caramelized-pear, cooked-quince and mushroom aromas. Very deep and ripe, but with spot-on harmony, the hint of grape sweetness beautifully woven into its rich and very complex texture. Astonishing finish that’s creamy and salty, smoky and stony all at once. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. 98 points" jamessuckling.com |

Tasting Notes"Very fragrant nose of yellow and pink roses with plenty of turkish delight. Very concentrated, but the fine tannins and excellent freshness (in spite of modest acidity) give this a wonderful balance, which makes this frankly off-dry gewurz hard to resist. And the turkish-delight finish is also something else! From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. 95 points" jamessuckling.com |

Tasting Notes"A very complex and structured wine for muscat, with aromas of star fruit, passion fruit,Thai basil and mandarin, plus a hint of youthful yeastiness.

Tasting Notes"This smells of the ripest melon you can imagine. Fresh herbal notes, including a touch of mint. Super-elegant and bright with a very sensual, silky texture on the generous palate. The stunning concentration masks the high acidity that drives the very long and chalky finish. With this much vitality it surely has enormous aging potential. From biodynamically grown grapes.

Tasting Notes"Welcome to the wild side of pinot gris, but don’t imagine for a second that this is a lush wine. In spite of all the power, this is super-cool and tense.

Tasting Notes"Step into this incredible dry pinot gris kaleidoscope and it could be difficult to get out again. Exotic, spicy, smoky, but also with a cool, herbal side, this defies every easy definition. Gigantic, concentrated and crazily vibrant on the full-bodied palate. Totally off the scale freshness at the lightning-strike finish. Although this is from a grape variety that theoretically is low in acidity, it has the highest acidity of any wine from this producer in 2022. From biodynamically grown grapes.
