Winemaker Notes

Boxler, one of Alsace’s grand heavyweights, is one of those domaines whose wines are usually rather difficult to come by, as more often than not they’re snatched up at release and taken out of cellars to mark only the most important occasions. Most of Boxler’s wines are rare, powerful, and thought-provoking monuments. This Riesling has all the grandeur of the more famous Boxler cuvées, being sourced from declassified grand cru vines, but its crisp, fresh, easier style is for when you just need a good solid drink and not a major celebration.

The 2022 Riesling Réserve is mostly made from all the younger vines in the various parcels of the Sommerberg Grand Cru and one limestone parcel neighboring the Sommerberg. The vines are all between 10 and 25 years old. A touch of crushed citrus foliage pushes its aroma through the slight reduction on the nose. The palate is absolutely bell-like, clear-cut and precise, with a heightened freshness that would never let you guess a hot year. Supreme citrus zestiness coats the mouth, makes it water, thrills and excites, even though the finish is not as long. Yet, it is supremely zesty. (Bone-Dry)
