2021 Riesling “Réserve”
Albert BoxlerThe brisk 2021 vintage gave taut, linear wines with mouthwatering acidity, and that is certainly the case in this young-vine cuvée from Alsatian maestro Jean Boxler. He bottles the Réserve from declassified grand cru fruit from Sommerberg and Brand, two of Alsace’s legendary vineyard sites, so there is serious terroir pedigree to go with the stimulating citrus and spring flowers. Tart and crystalline, it has the zip to quench one’s thirst with verve and grace.

About The Region
Alsace
Tragically, Alsace might be the most misunderstood wine region of France. In spite of its long history of viticulture and tremendous diversity of pedigreed terroirs, a past fraught with marketing mishaps has left consumers baffled as to what exactly to expect inside one of these mysterious tall, thin bottles.
The good news, on the other hand, is that a new wave of quality-oriented growers is working hard to put Alsace in its rightful place as one of the world’s most fascinating sources of fine white wine. By embracing tradition, respecting terroir, and making a concerted effort to better communicate the countless virtues their wines have to offer, they have succeeded in putting Alsace back on the map.
Crafted from a number of grape varieties and beautifully interpreting the region’s mosaic of soil types, our Alsace imports are by and large dry whites offering exceptional versatility at table. While each of these selections is ready to be uncorked tonight, the finest among them are also capable of maturing for many, many years in a cool cellar. Expect kaleidoscopic aromatics, lively acidities, and loads of terroir transparency in these skillfully crafted masterpieces. Enjoy a foray into the thrilling world of the world’s most underrated wine region, and certainly do not hesitate to contact our sales staff with any questions as you take off on this mouth-watering adventure.
