Albert Boxler is one of Alsace’s undisputed masters, and his bottlings from Grand Cru Sommerberg are among the most revered. Dudenstein is a specific parcel within Sommerberg, famed for its incredibly steep granite slopes and its ability to produce Riesling of profound tension, mineral depth, and breathtaking precision.

The 2023 vintage is absolutely thrilling: a lightning bolt of citrus peel, crushed stone, white flowers, and green apple aromas. On the palate, it’s taut, salty, and endlessly layered, with piercing acidity driving through a core of pure, stony fruit. There’s a weightless intensity here—power without heaviness, complexity without excess.

This is Grand Cru Riesling for purists: precise, vibrant, and built for a long life ahead, though already stunning in its youthful clarity.

Pair with: oysters, grilled scallops, sashimi, or rich dishes like pork belly where acidity is the perfect counterpoint.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 96
"The 2023 Riesling Dudenstein Sommerberg Grand Cru is from a more complex parcel where granite is mixed with limestone and sandstone. This was made from vines planted in 1946 and 1953. A shy nose hints at zesty citrus. The palate is distinctly juicy, delving into green-yellow Reine Claude plum, emanating coolness and sporting a touch of pear peel on its texture. Yet it is absolutely concentrated, with a finish reminiscent of eau-de-vie and Mirabelle." -Anne Krebiehl, MW
