Klein Constantia

Vin de Constance Natural Sweet Muscat à Petits Grains 2019

Great now and will age beautifully. Typical Muscat florals, but I love the balancing act of sugar concentration and acidity in this vintage. Elderflower and bruised stone fruit. Wonderfully fresh. 👌🏼 — 9 months ago

Pattes Loup (Thomas Pico)

Vent d'Ange Chablis Chardonnay

On the nose : Fresh honeysuckle with a touch of elderflower, broiled lemon, soft cheddar and bubbling spring with roasted pear which follows through on the palate with the elderflower and the honeysuckle, as well as young kiwi. Has almost a sake like texture with encompassing weight but is light at the same time. The weight dissipates while the flavor lingers. High acidity that is incredibly balanced — 6 years ago

La Noue Sancerre Pinot Noir Rosé

Luscious aromas of green Anjou pears and Granny Smith apples, hints of blossoming elderflower, honeysuckle and subtle notes of lime zest, quince, bourbon vanilla and catmint leaves. A luxurious, textural rounded mineral long finish! — 6 years ago

Cloudy Bay

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Pale lemon colored, the 2020 Cloudy Bay is a bit more restrained than recent vintages and offers fresh aromas of asparagus, green bell pepper, gooseberry, elderflower, lemon zest, yellow apple, white peach and a dash of smoke. On the palate, the spiky acidity lends this medium bodied Sauvignon Blanc a vibrant freshness alongside a juicy finish. Drink now until 2024 — 4 years ago

Réserve Alsace Gewürztraminer 2018

It’s no wonder Gewurztraminer is one of the four noble grape varieties in Alsace, France. 👏👏👏 It’s uniquely expressive, perfumed, rich, and oily with youthful and pronounced aromas 👃 of lychee, açaí, papaya, mango, pineapple, also sweet spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and rose, stargazer lily, elderflower, and wet stone. 🤩🤩🤩

👁 This wine is deep gold. 👄 It’s dry with a modicum of residual sugar. It has medium acidity, a medium(+) body, medium alcohol, and pronounced flavors, consistent with the nose, including notes of lychee, açaí, papaya, mango, pineapple, also sweet spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and rose, stargazer lily, elderflower, and wet stone. The finish is medium(+).

We’ve paired this wine with grilled vegan brats and roasted zucchini.

Albert Boxler, Gewurztraminer, Vintage 2018, ABV 13.5% (on the cusp of high alcohol).

Cheers to it almost being the weekend(?)!

One of my fave producers- always deep, nuanced but prices have become more prohibitive over the years, especially the Rieslings- May I ask how much your bottle was?@Vanessa

@Peter Sultan Of course! The price was $37.00. I bought it directly from Kermit Lynch’s e-commerce site.

Thanks@Vanessa ! Before Kermit, Boxler was part of Robert Chadderdon’s portfolio, before he sold it- his prices were rigidly set for Boxler. But these are exquisite wines, if not several notches more expensive, I think.

Domaine de la Bongran

Cuvée E.J. Thevenet Quintaine Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2011

Lychee, kiwi, elderflower, bitter almond flower, honeysuckle, hints of saffron. Snapping rounded acidity, full bodied, juicy rich texture, long floral, slightly honeyed finish. Juxtaposed delicacy over richness, mineral notes expressed despite touches of RS. Unique Burgundy. 30-45 minute decanting recommended. — 8 years ago

Cristal Brut Champagne 2015

Quite light lemon yellow , very persistent , fine bubbles . Quite taut and strict on the nose , chalk dust , white flowers , honey suckle and elderflower , lemon peel , touch oyster shell and a touch of fresh baked bread . On the palate really good volume and density , lively acidity . Lots of citrus with good mineral , oyster shell notes . Long and mineral , saline, tinged finish , hint of toasty brioche on the end . This is really quite young and shows tighter and more mineral than the first bottle we had . Would leave this a few years and will have a long life , better in 10 -15 years and last well a further 10 or so . Great potential — a year ago

Emmeram Gewürztraminer 2020

It’s like walking through a elderflower, chamomile, honeysuckle forest with a granite stream of water underneath. There’s also lychee, pear, peach, some more flowers. There’s an underlying tropical/floral shrub character on finish. I could smell for days. Outstanding and lived up to hype. Best Gewürztraminer I’ve had. — 3 years ago

Slight diesel starting on the nose. Elderflower on the nose. Floral, grassy — being a little bit tart (sour gooseberry) at the end is the only downside — 5 years ago

Marco De Bartoli

Lucido Catarratto 2019

Pale gold in colour. Black olives, yellow pears, and elderflower on the nose. Wet stones are there also. The salinity and fleshiness of black olives pops up on the palate, as well as a bit past overripe yellow pears and a tinge of balsamic sweetness. — 5 years ago

Gabriel Meffre

Saint-Vincent Côtes-du-Rhône White Rhone Blend 2019

I really like this wine. It has a good mouth feel, some sweetness but not too much, juicy with a dry finish. There’s a lightness to it but also some structure. It’s quite elegant. Notes of elderflower. — 6 years ago

Wittmann

Westhofener Trocken Riesling 2016

Nice concentration and great depth with white peach, baked lemons, a hint of elderflower and some white tea accents. On the palate surprisingly powerful with peach and steely lemons and crushed rock minerality. Excellent finish with the mineral, lemony presence lasting for several minutes.
An outstanding ‘simple’ Ortswein.

L' Ambroisie Alsace Gewürztraminer 2015

Superb companion to a wonderful homemade foie gras mi-cuit. Spices, elderflower, honey a bit, white flowers. Wonderfully balanced palate with a strong acid backbone, a touch of SR conferring a slight roundness to it, spices, a good grip to compliment the fat from the foie gras, and a very long finish with elder flower. I’m done drinking sweet wines with foie gras. Dry Gewurtztraminer for the win! Merry Christmas ! — 8 years ago
