"Knockout nose combines peach nectar, apricot and subtle smoky, nutty nances. Densely packed, highly concentrated and solidly structured, with a distinct botrytis influence to the tangy apricot, honey and spice flavors and a soil-specific element of iodine. The wine's pronounced sweetness (about 30 g/l r.s.) is leavened by firm flinty minerality, solid structure and high alcohol (just over 15%), and the finish is strikingly long and fresh. The flavors here are much purer and more fruit-driven than those of the earthier '04."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Sheltered by the Vosges mountains, Alsace produces aromatic, mostly dry varietal whites - Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris - of exceptional purity and ageability.
