2022 Riesling Grand Cru Sommerberg D, Albert Boxler

2022 Riesling Grand Cru Sommerberg D, Albert Boxler

Sommerberg is the magnificent grand cru vineyard behind the village of Niedermorschwihr. Jean Boxler’s isolated parcels within it, where the vines are extremely old, are the purest and most concentrated expression of just what is possible here, and both the E and D cuvées have earned a cult following. D stands for Dudenstein, a small parcel within the grand cru, and this site’s limestone, marl and granite soils make for piercing acidity in this hugely complex wine, which shows fabulous volume on the palate. These vines were planted in 1942 and 1953, and the wine is produced only in tiny quantities. Dry (2g/l).
