Albert Boxler Muscat Grand Cru "Brand"

2017
All grapes are harvested by hand and no fining. After pressing, cold settling before fermentation begins and fermentation is is all natural. Vinified in foudre.
"Afifty/fifty blend of Muscat Ottonel and Muscat d’Alsace, this is a truly breathtaking creation. The aromas are pure, soft, and ethereal, with an understated class that comes from the Ottonel. The palate is layered with white fruits, slightly smoky hints, and a heavy dose of granite minerality. Much like Boxler’s Pinot Blanc Réserve from Brand, it shows its terroir in striking fashion. Dry Muscat doesn’t get any better than this (and, as I once discovered with a 1959, it is one of Alsace’s greatest agers)." - Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant
