Good full yellow. Mint, candied orange peel, mango, smoke and roses. Then clean, fresh and very penetrating, with a light tannic quality to the citrus and tropical fruit flavors. Very long and creamy on the suave finish. Made from 30-year-old vines grown at the bottom of the Altenbourg on mainly marly-clay soils that deliver power and finesse. Truly lovely Gewürz. (Vinous)
Gewurztraminer is renowned for being a particularly tricky grape varietal to grow and cultivate, but is one which plenty of wineries persevere with due to its unique properties and excellent flavors The vines themselves are highly robust, and can even be unruly when in the correct type of soil, but they cannot grow well in terroirs which contain chalk or other similar components. They are also extremely susceptible to a wide range of diseases and rot, and due to their early budding and fruiting, they cannot survive frost. However, despite these problems, in cooler climates and on the right terroir, the Gewurztraminer grape varietal produces wonderful results quite unlike any other vine. The pink grapes are packed full of elegant and sweet flavors, their relatively high sugar content offering a light sweetness alongside floral notes, perfumed and aromatic aromas, and a distinctive taste of lychees.
France, often regarded as the heart of the wine world, boasts a rich history, diverse terroirs, and a captivating variety of grape varietals. From the renowned vineyards of Bordeaux to the picturesque landscapes of Burgundy, France offers a wine lover’s dream journey. Whether you’re new to the world of wine or a seasoned enthusiast looking […]
Alsace has to be one of the most fascinating regions of France, with a history which stretches back millennia, and demonstrates perfectly the kind of blended culture that can arise from being located on the border between two enormously important, yet very different countries. Indeed, being on the border between France and Germany has resulted in Alsatian wines being something of a mix between the wines of these two countries. Riesling varietal grapes are grown in enormous quantities here, and display all of their crisp, dry complexity perfectly in the famous wines of Alsace. Alongside this typically Germanic wine, Alsatian vintners also produce plenty of Pinot Noir, Gewurztraminer, Muscat and Sauvignon Vert wines, all of which are superb when it comes to expressing the finer features of the wonderful Alsatian terroir.

The 2015 Gewurztraminer Cuvée Laurence comes from the bottom of the Altenbourg (limestone/clay soil) and opens with a very clear, fresh and aromatic bouquet of white fruits and citrus flavors (oranges, kumquat), along with mineral and spicy notes. Round and very elegant on the palate, this full-bodied Gewurz is lush and fresh, very juicy but also nicely mineral and floral. It reveals fine tannins and a lingering salinity in the finish. This 2015 drinks already perfect today, but can go for decades. There is a nice piquancy and mineral grip in the finish.
