2014 Weinbach Gewurztraminer Cuvee Laurence Clos De Capucins, 1.5ltr

1.5ltr

RATINGS

94Wine Enthusiast

Very subtle hints of jasmine and ripe Valencia orange skin gently perfume this soft, subtle, ethereal wine. Gentle sweetness adds to the charm and creates a dreamy mirage of fruit and scent—what lightness of touch...

91The Wine Advocate

Discreet on the nose and reveals the purity of granite soils... Very delicate, filigreed and sweet on the palate, but also deep and complex in the elegant flow, with a crisp and salty finish.

PRODUCER

Weinbach

Domaine Weinbach is in Kaysersberg, in France’s Alsace region. The 22-acre estate traces its history to the early 17th century, when Capuchin Monks established the vineyards and winery. During the French Revolution the domaine was sold to private buyers and in 1898 it was acquired by the Faller brothers. The estate remains owned and operated by the Faller family, though two deaths in the family have diminished the family’s team. Until 2014 the estate was run Colette Faller and her two adult daughters. But daughter Laurence died at age 47 in 2014, and Colette died some months later. Today the domaine is run by Catherine, Colette’s remaining daughter, and her son Theo. Domaine Weinbach produces Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer. Robert M. Parker Jr. notes that the estate “continues to bottle some of France’s – not just Alsace’s – richest and most flamboyant wines.”

REGION

France, Alsace

Alsace in northeastern France is so close to Germany that the wines of Alsace and Germany are often confused. Both are typically sold in distinctive, slim, long-necked bottles, and are made from the same grapes. Alsace has never officially been a part of Germany, though it was occupied by the German military in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Wine writer Hugh Johnson has noted that despite German influences, Alsace’s “soul is entirely French. Alsace makes Germanic wines in the French way.” In contrast to German wines, Alsace wines generally are very dry, with a higher alcohol content and riper, more scented fruit. Alsace has 33,000 acres of vineyards, many of them in the picturesque foothills of the Vosges Mountains. The grapes of the region are Sylvaner, Muscat, Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc. Pinot Noir is also grown, though it is mainly used for Rosé wines. Alsace’s most admired wines are its Rieslings, which since 1985 may be designated as Grand Crus. Some 50 vineyards in the region have been classified as Grand Crus, and are allowed to use the appellation on their labels. Unlike all other French winemaking regions, Alsace labels are varietal, meaning that a wine made of Riesling, for example, is called Riesling. Official Alsace appellations include Cremant d’Alsace for sparkling wines.

TYPE

White Wine, Gewürztraminer

This grape grows in cooler climates and reaches its finest expression in Alsace, where it is the second most commonly planted variety. It is boldly aromatic and has a distinct bouquet of lychees. The grape be used to make dry, off dry and sweet wines, including ice wine.
