This is an excellent introduction to the dry whites of Alsace, being simultaneously juicy, creamy and zesty with stacks of stone fruit and citrusy freshness, but with moderate acidity at the lingering finish. 70% auxerrois and... Read More
Mostly Chenin Blanc, this bubbly is pure earthy goodness. A little bit of Chardonnay adds richness and body and tempers the acidity. You should get two because the first bottle will be gone in a heartbeat.
Blueberries, blackberries and crushed stones with some violets. Medium body with firm tannins and a firm, savory finish. Rather linear and chewy now. Try it a year or two later. Better after 2021.
This is a young structured wine that needs time to bring out its fine richness. Tannins and spice (with a smoky character and flavors from wood aging) give this wine a serious mien. It has aging to do, drink from 2025. ROGER VOSS... Read More

This powerful wine is rich in tannins as well as dark black fruits. With its structure and young concentration, the wine is still firm and dry. Drink it when the fruit begins to shine in mid-2021.
Almost pure Merlot, this wine balanced contrasts black fruits with generous, unforced tannins. Blackberry flavors shine through the dry core that is just beginning to soften. Drink from 2022. — Roger Voss
