Pure and crystalline, with honeysuckle, ripe peach, pear skin, bergamot and a hint of candied pineapple over stony minerality. Sleek yet round and concentrated, with subtle refinement and a long, silky finish.

Close100% Pinot Blanc
Food pairings: Salmon, mackerel or tuna, grilled halloumi, chicken souvlaki, and aged sheep's-milk cheeses.
Winemaking: All the grapes are harvested by hand. After pressing, the juice is cold-settled before a natural fermentation, and the wine is vinified in foudre without fining. Like all the domaine's wines, it is made in old foudres in a small cellar beneath the family home.
Vineyards and terroir: The wine comes from vines about 40 years old on granite soils around Niedermorschwihr in the Haut-Rhin, below the Sommerberg grand cru, farmed organically.
Family and history: The first Jean Boxler arrived in Niedermorschwihr from Switzerland in 1673. After World War II, Albert Boxler came back from Montana in time to harvest the 1946 crop and became the first of the family to bottle and sell its wine under the family name; the bottles still wear the label his cousin drew in 1946. Albert's son Jean-Marc continued for several decades before handing over to his son Jean in 1996.
