Albert Boxler Pinot Gris Reserve 2022
This compelling white wine hails from France, specifically the Alsace region. Domaine Albert Boxler, situated in the village of Niedermorschwihr, is a venerable estate whose family settled in Alsace in 1672. The domaine has been led by Jean Boxler since 1996, who, following in his grandfather Albert's footsteps, focuses on producing precise, expressive wines that clearly reflect their granite-driven terroir.
The 'Réserve' bottling is made from 100 per cent Pinot Gris. The grapes are sourced from granite parcels in Niedermorschwihr, including young vines from the Grand Cru sites Sommerberg and Brand, with some vines as old as 65 years. Pinot Gris from Alsace is prized for its full-bodied and richly textured style. The wine exhibits a nose of ripe russet pear, subtle smoke, and pepper spice. On the palate, it is generous with juicy pear fruit, but remains stony and precise in shape, showcasing a lovely flicker of smoky reduction on the long finish. User reviews frequently mention notes of honey, ginger, minerals, apricot, peach, and a savoury, earthy side. Stylistically, it is complex, precise, and flinty, often showing a hint of residual sugar (around 15 g/L depending on the vintage) which perfectly balances the palate. The estate has practiced organic farming for over twenty years.
