2006 Domaine Weinbach Gewurztraminer Cuvee Laurence

Gewurztraminer: 750ml

$49.99

about this wine:

Weinbach's Gewurztraminer Cuvee Laurence comes from the mainly limestone soil just beneath the actual Altenbourg site. Similar to the Altenbourg Cuvee Laurence, this wine is quite full-bodied and lush with a thick texture. Aromas range from honey and floral notes to spice and grilled nuts, pairing well with exotic dishes and fatty cheeses.

Geoffrey Binder, JJ Buckley, June 2010

Golden straw in color. This gewurz has a developed but fragrant nose of petrol, ripe peach, baking spices and light florals. On the palate the stone fruits follow through with peach and pear, finishing with a note of marzipan.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2010

The Fallers' 2006 Gewurztraminer Cuvee Laurence perpetuates the unexpected themes of juicy generosity, minerality and spice set by their other wines of this grape and vintage. Litchi, cardamom, and rose petal aromas are joined by further brown spices on the palate. The sense of salinity is stimulatingly woven into this wine's subtly sweet finish, though one does not have quite the sense of transparency to diverse mineral nuances as in the corresponding Cuvee Theo. I would expect this to drink well for the next 3-4 years.

About Winery

At the foot of the majestic Schlossberg hill in Alsace stands one of the finest estates in all of France. Domaine Weinbach is run with consummate skill and total dedication by Colette Faller and her two daughters, Catherine and Laurence. In the words of Robert Parker, "Colette and her daughter Laurence...pushed Weinbach to the pinnacle of Alsace's qualitative pyramid." Domaine Weinbach was established by the Order of Capuchin monks in 1612. The "Clos des Capuchins" vineyard surrounds the domaine; the prestigious "Schlossberg" vineyard (the first terroir in Alsace to receive the status of Grand Cru), the Grand Cru "Furstentum", and the adjacent "Altenbourg" vineyard rise above the clos. The domaine has 62 acres of vineyards in the heart of Kayserberg's hills and valleys.
