JV Riesling 2015 - Grand Cru Sommerberg - Albert Boxler
Became over time a key representative of viticulture in Alsace, the Domaine Albert Boxler originates in the late seventeenth century, when a certain Jean Boxler, a native of Switzerland, settles in the Haut-Rhin Niedermorschwihr . The production of wine by Jean Boxler begins in 1673: from this date, the vintage is passed on from generation to generation within the Boxler family. In 1946, Albert Boxler and his wife Élise took over the management of the family farm, which they restructured in depth, buying plots, mainly on the Sommerberg hillside, and introducing the bottling of the wine to the vineyard. property. The winemaker also bequeaths his name to the estate, leaving the indelible mark of his passage at the head of the farm founded by his ancestors. The Domaine Albert Boxler then passes into the hands of Jean-Marc Boxler, son of Albert, in 1962. Capitalizing on the work done previously by his father, Jean-Marc Boxler still raises the quality of the wine of Domaine Albert Boxler, and confers him a growing reputation. This estate, created by Jean Boxler and perched on the heights of Niedermorschwihr, confirms with the last vintages his reputation as a very demanding producer. It gives all its nobility to the Grand Cru Sommerberg, granite circus whose steep slope makes the work particularly difficult.
