Baron de Hoen Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Mandelberg

バロン・ド・オーエン ゲヴュルツトラミネール グラン・クリュ マンデルベルグ

Cave de Beblenheim

Gewurztraminer

About this wine

Bottled under the Baron de Hoen label from the Mandelberg Grand Cru between Beblenheim and Mittelwihr, this Gewurztraminer is full-bodied and decidedly off-dry, with a honeyed bouquet of rose, allspice, grapefruit, lychee, pineapple, peach, apricot, incense, cinnamon and cantaloupe. Robust acidity keeps the fruit-driven richness in balance rather than syrupy, finishing on lingering stone fruit and floral notes. The 2019 vintage was awarded 95 points at the Decanter World Wine Awards.

Beginner's Note

Gewurztraminer's signature perfume in its most concentrated Grand Cru form — an eye-opening pour for newcomers to the variety.

Sommelier's Note

"A 95-point Decanter score for a cooperative bottling is no small feat — this is proof that Beblenheim's Mandelberg parcels rival any grower-estate Gewurztraminer in Alsace."
