Domaine Léon Boesch
Les Fous Alsace Gewurztraminer
Alsace, France
@Delectable Wine this is the 2013 Domaine Leon Boesch "Les Fous" Gewutrztraminer. Another beautiful offering from Petite Monde imports. Beguiling aromatics. Crazy details & nuance on nose & palate. Boesch manages to coax tons of acid from the young vine fruit here creating gorgeous balance. Stunning stuff.

Had to go to Hedonism for this one and pay nearly double the price they pay for it in the States! Also drinking at room temp. Peppery nose for a GT, reductive match aromasalso present. Beautifully dry with the slightest hint of petillance. High acid and lots of citrus and pear. Still has the grape Muscat type aromas, but lychee moves to the back. Tastes like a less intense chablis slope crossed with GT. I love it but I would imagine 16 is a shadow of the warmer more intense 15. A touch dilute.

Gorgeous work. Deepening gold colour, like a young sauternes. Honey, bitter citrus, melon, petrol, and a hint of botrytis on the nose. Palate follows with more of the same, with a long, bitter finish. A real stunner. Extraordinary value, here.
