Vintage 2011 in Alsace
Commented by Florian BECK-HARTWEG
After three very good and extreme years, where 2008 and 2010 gave particularly dry wines and 2009 round and fruity ones, 2011 will give us a classic year with a very nice balance.
The climate was extreme, with a very warm and dry spring, which led to a very early flowering. Thereafter the vines needed some water, and we were very glad to have quite a lot of rain during the summer. This is indeed very rare in Alsace but it was necessary after the dry spring. The rains continued until late august, and stopped just before the grape picking. During the harvest the weather was perfect, very dry and sunny. The combination of a cool summer and a dry harvest period allowed us to bring in grapes at a perfect level of maturity, while still preserving a good acidity. This is why the wines have such a nice balance.
The first wines will be bottled starting in March, and we look forward to taste their crisp and fruity aromas. At present, the Grands Crus are still ageing on their fine lees, or even fermenting, and they are one their way to slowly start to reveal the full potential of their terroirs.

Wine of the Week 
2007 Pinot Gris, Seppi Landmann Seppi Landmann has for years welcomed pickers from all corners of the earth to participate in the harvest of grapes from Zinnkoepflé, Bollenberg and the beautiful valley Vallée Noble. His late harvested vendanges tardives and sélecton de grains nobles have been legendary in character, depth and purity. But the years have passed and Seppi has now, in the absence of natural heirs, formed an alliance with Rieflé Rouffach to secure continuity.
2007 Pinot Gris Vallée Noble from Seppi Landmann in Soultzmatt has a deep yellow color. The scent offers fresh apricots, spices, orange peel, ripe pears and flowers. The medium bodied taste has a distinct but integrated sweetness, moderate acidity and slight bitterness in the pleasing aftertaste. Price: € 9 (Primeur)
