Agathe Bursin
Lutzeltal Sylvaner
Alsace, France
Lovely spicy aromatics where the spice note carries onto the palate, great Sylvaner is so darn good, and Agathe makes this and also her “Eminence” from fruit grown on the Grand Cru “Zinnkoepfle”, both of which are excellent, year-in, year-out, long finish, very fine!!

Aug 11th, 2025Spicy, floral, quite dry, high acid Sylvaner, medium-bodied, medium-long finish, excellent with some fresh Dungeness crab cakes made by a fish market/restaurant in Newport, Oregon called Local Ocean Seafood!!

Quiet nose; palate subdued citrus, maybe more gooseberry, but forget sauvignon blanc; this wine is full, round, almost oily, and mineral enough to cause tooth loss.
