Albert Boxler crafts some of the most breathtakingly pure wines in Alsace, and his holdings in Grand Cru Sommerberg are legendary. Sommerberg’s dizzyingly steep granite slopes give Riesling a coiled tension and mineral depth that few vineyards in the world can match. "Vanne" comes from a specific parcel within the Grand Cru, vinified separately to highlight its singular character.

The 2023 vintage of Vanne is riveting: a wine of electric precision, soaring citrus and stone fruit aromas, and a deep, granitic minerality that feels etched into the palate. Bone-dry yet generous in its texture, it balances vivid acidity with quiet, layered intensity, finishing with a salty, mouthwatering snap.

This is Grand Cru Alsace Riesling at its most profound and precise—built for the long haul but already stunning in its youthful vibrancy.

Pair with: lobster, scallops, roasted poultry with citrus, or aged Comté cheese.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 97
"The 2023 Riesling Vanne Sommerberg Grand Cru is from very old vines. One parcel is now over 100 years old and the other is exactly 70 years old. Boxler emphasizes that this really is only from the old vines themselves—any re-planted younger vines were put into the Riesling Réserve. Stone dust and green-yellow citrus aromas shimmer with the slightest reduction, combining into a wonderfully appetizing nose. The palate is concentrated, with a slight phenolic frame, mouthwatering brightness, freshness and structure helping each other out. Smooth tangerine appears on the mid-palate with an almost creamy effect, forming an elixir of a wine. A luminous echo of tangerine reverberates on its uncompromising, superbly sleek body. Whoa." -Anne Krebiehl, MW
