Is there an Alsace wine more perfectly reflective of granite soils than this one?  The E stands for Eckberg, the highest, coolest and stoniest part of Sommerberg; it’s always late ripening, but the very long 2014 season (120 days on average for Boxler from flowering to harvest) drew the season out still further.  The scents of this wine summarise the orchard and broadleaf-forest charm of the region, without any element obtruding: cereals, limes, nuts, with plenty of fresh, lifted grace.  After that, the palate comes as a shock, since all of the springtime charm of the scents fades into the background, and the stonier side of its personality comes forward.  It’s long and dense, and by the time the wine has faded almost a minute later, the two sides of its personality are in spellbinding harmony.
