Lot presentation

Alsace Riesling Grand Cru Brand K Albert Boxler 2012

The wine

A true jewel of the domain produced in modest quantities, this cuvée comes from a single-parcel selection of Brand grand cru and has astounding minerality. Produced only in ‘cold’ years in order to counterbalance the natural heat of the plot, exposed to the east at the top of the slope, this intense Riesling gives off all the power and serenity we would expect from such a legendary grand cru. The granite terroir in which it is grown makes way for a fine and aromatically delicate expression of Riesling.

About the Producer Albert Boxler

An emblematic domain of the Alsace region, Albert Boxler comprises 19 hectares of which half are classed Grand Cru. Founded towards the end of the 1940s, the domain favours clean and careful growing. In any case, the vines planted on steep terrain cannot be reached by machines. The treatments used are organic and the yields are masterful. In the cellar, indigenous yeasts carry out their work, and the wines are matured in old barrels in order to avoid a flavour that is marked by wood, and stirring is banned. The current owner, Jean Boxler, seeks before all else to highlight the particularities of the grape varieties and the terroirs through fine, taut and crystalline wines. This talent is particularly embodied in the careful work of Jean Boxler, who sees wine as a space of freedom and expression. It is therefore as an artist that he produces his lingering wines, possessing a noble texture and great delicacy.
