Edouard Leiber Gewürztraminer Grand Cru Hatschbourg 2023

A rare gem from Grand Cru Hatschbourg, this Gewürztraminer crafted at Maison Cattin is a stunning showcase of Alsace’s rich winemaking heritage. With just 4% of Alsace’s vineyards classified as Grand Cru, this wine is an exceptional find, offering a lush, aromatic profile of lychee, candied tropical fruit and rosewater. Its rounded body, gentle sweetness and long, fresh finish make it a standout bottle for lovers of expressive white wines.

Alsace is tucked along France’s eastern border and offers a fascinating blend of French and German influences. It's known for its stunning landscapes, distinctive architecture, unique cuisine and exceptional white wines. Maison Cattin is one of Alsace’s oldest family wineries and has crafted wine here since 1720, passing down expertise for 12 generations. Their Grand Cru Hatschbourg vineyards sit on gently sloping hills, southeast-facing for optimal sunshine, ensuring fully ripened grapes with outstanding depth and freshness.

The vineyard is also certified HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale), France’s official sustainability certification, ensuring eco-friendly practices and biodiversity.

The Gewürztraminer grapes undergo a gentle pressing, followed by aging in large traditional oak casks. The wine shines gold in color, with tropical aromas and a gentle kiss of sweetness balanced by a supporting streak of acidity (as all great Gewürztraminer should). A consistent 90+ point winner, it pairs beautifully with spicy Asian cuisine, rich cheeses, foie gras or fruit-based desserts.

A truly special bottle that showcases the magic of Alsace’s Grand Cru vineyards.
