Boeckel 2015 Zotzenberg Grand Cru Sylvaner (Alsace)

Country: France / Zotzenberg Grand Cru
Variety: Sylvaner Alsace
Winery: Boeckel / Alsace

Shy but very pure notes of ripe juicy pear and fresh ripe mirabelle plum appear on the nose. They continue seamlessly on the full-bodied palate where they find a fitting counterpoint in its phenolic texture, which has a pleasantly bitter edge. This is bone dry but unusually full-bodied for a Sylvaner, highlighting the ripeness of the 2015 vintage. The finish is long and underlines the quiet power of this wine.
