An aromatic white from the Michel Léon range, showing a brilliant golden-yellow color and a bouquet of exotic spice, lychee, rose petal, and stone fruit. The palate is full-bodied and rich with ripe apricot, peach, and honey, hints of ginger, and a floral, off-dry-leaning finish typical of Alsace Gewurztraminer.
If you only ever try one Gewurztraminer, make it a well-made Alsace example like this — the lychee-and-rose-petal signature is unmistakable and it's the variety's true home.
