Riesling

2005 Alsace Riesling

The Boeckel Riesling from the esteemed Alsace region is a captivating white wine that beautifully showcases the inherent characteristics of the Riesling varietal. This vintage from 2005 demonstrates a full-bodied profile with a bright acidity that invigorates the palate, making each sip a delightful experience. The fruit intensity is pronounced, with lovely notes of ripe stone fruits and tantalizing citrus that dance on the tongue. With a dry expression that highlights the minerality typical of Alsace wines, this Riesling is both refreshing and engaging. Elegantly crafted, it stands as a testament to the region's commitment to producing exceptional wines that can be enjoyed today or cellared for further development.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
