2010 Weinbach Gewurztraminer Cuvee Laurence
At the foot of the majestic Schlossberg hill in Alsace stands one of the finest estates in all of France. Domaine Weinbach is run with consummate skill and total dedication by Colette Faller and her two daughters, Catherine and Laurence. In the words of Robert Parker, "Colette and her daughter Laurence...pushed Weinbach to the pinnacle of Alsace's qualitative pyramid." Domaine Weinbach was established by the Order of Capuchin monks in 1612. The "Clos des Capuchins" vineyard surrounds the domaine; the prestigious "Schlossberg" vineyard (the first terroir in Alsace to receive the status of Grand Cru), the Grand Cru "Furstentum", and the adjacent "Altenbourg" vineyard rise above the clos. The domaine has 62 acres of vineyards in the heart of Kayserberg's hills and valleys.

Weinbach produces richly concentrated, fragrant dry Rieslings, for which the Grand Cru Schlossberg vineyard is particularly well-situated. Ranging from the delicate Reserve Personelle, to the intense, dry Cuvée Théo, the elegant, very dry, very fine Schlossberg, the rich and fruity Cuvée Ste. Catherine, to the majestic and full-bodied Grand Cru Schlossberg Cuvée Ste. Catherine, each Riesling is distinctive. The rich, rose-scented, spicy Gewurztraminers from Domaine Weinbach are among the finest in the world. Ranging in style from the slightly sweet, rich and powerful Altenbourg Cuvée Laurence, to the stunning, full-bodied, off-dry Grand Cru Furstentum Cuvée Laurence, these are rich yet elegant wines with great aromatic complexity.
