For those seeking a wine where ecology meets Grand Cru-level luxury, "Bott-Geyl Gewurztraminer Sonnenglanz Grand Cru Alsace AOC 2016" is an unrivalled choice — this wine embodies the grandeur of the Alsace terroir and the pinnacle of biodynamic viticulture, making it highly prized by both wine enthusiasts and collectors.
This product of organic farming is crafted from a single prestigious Sonnenglanz vineyard, where the Bott-Geyl family applies biodynamic methods, preserving the balance of nature and the quality of the grapes; the grapes are harvested exclusively by hand, ensuring the most meticulous selection.
The wine originates from the Sonnenglanz Grand Cru vineyard, situated at an altitude of 220–270 metres with a south-eastern exposure, where limestone and marl soils combined with a dry microclimate create ideal conditions for Gewurztraminer grapes, often touched by noble rot, which lends the wine exceptional depth and intensity.
On the nose, elegant notes of white flowers, grapefruit, pineapple and ripe white fruits dominate, complemented by subtle nuances of honey and spice that reflect the terroir character of the vineyard.
On the palate, the wine is rich, slightly sweet, yet maintains a harmonious balance thanks to gentle acidity that brings freshness; the finish is long and complex, with a delicate bitterness intertwined with hints of sweet fruit and minerality.
This wine has the potential to age for another 10–15 years, gradually revealing even more complex aromas of honey, dried fruits and exotic spices.
Recommended to serve at 10–12 °C with Indian curry dishes or soft cheeses such as Munster, Tomme and Morbier.
This offers up some very impressively concentrated fruit in a very smooth, juicy and succulent style with a super juicy and concentrated palate that offers a wealth of very rich and succulent tropical-fruit flavor. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
Jean-Christophe Bott is heir to the family tradition dating back to 1795, when his ancestor, Jean-Martin Geyl tended his vines and made his wine. Jean-Christophe Bott has been responsible for Domaine Bott-Geyl since 1993 and he converted the vineyards to be organic in 2000 and then biodynamic in 2002. In the vineyards he concentrates on low yields and in the cellars he oversees the vinification in the most natural and minimalist manner. The whole art is to bring together tradition and modernity, to perpetuate the vignoble for posterity and to protect its ecology.
