Vintage 2009 in Alsace
Commented by Florian BECK-HARTWEG
It is always difficult to make some conclusions about a vintage a few days after the grape picking. But I’ll give you my impressions about the grape picking and the potential of the wines. We will see if the time will confirm those impressions!
The most important fact this year is the quantity of rain: enough in summer, and absolutely no rain during the grape picking. Perfect to let the grapes ripen without rotting. Thanks to that, we had the time to let each vineyard ripen before we picked it, and to pick each one just in the right moment. That permits us to have ripe and balanced wines. They are already very tasty during the slow fermentation, I hope they’ll keep those nice aromas and this nice balance.
The quantity was very low in Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir, and quite comfortable in Riesling, Sylvaner and Gewurztraminer. I think we will have a good homogeneity between the grape varieties and between the vine growers. We won’t find any bad 2009 Alsace wines, let’s see in a couple months if they are good or great!

Wine of the Week 
2005 Riesling Grand Cru Goldert, Ginglinger-Fix The most exciting feature of a wine is its ability to evolve over time. While maintaining its basic character, the aging wine gives new interpretations of all its properties, expressed in other ways and in different proportions in the young wine relative to the patinated wine. Over a few years, 2005 Riesling Grand Cru Goldert has gained more volume in the fragrance and more precision of flavor. Today, the scent is aromatic and flowery and intense with pineapple, figs and oranges. The agile flavor is complemented by the distinctive sandy minerality and delicate, but elegant and long acidity. A racy wine that borrows features from both Muscat and Gewurztraminer Price: € 9.80.
Now you can read about:
- Biodynamic wines from Eric Rominger, Westhalten and the talented Laurent Barth, Bennwihr.
- Four family domaines with superb terroir wines: Emile Herzog (Turckheim), Maurice Schoech (Ammerschwihr), Xavier Wymann (Ribeauvillé) and Domaine de l'Oriel - Gérard Weinzorn (Niedermorschwihr)
- Two villages very different in terms of history and wine production: Ammerschwihr and Turckheim
