Offers pure varietal character, with aromas of spice and ripe lychees, and a velvet palate, rich and intense. This is a beautiful wine, opulent and smooth. Imported by Kermit Lynch.

Intensely structured, taut wine that shows great red currant fruits, packed with acidity as well as a full, ripe feel. The wine is powerful, ageworthy, with hints of pepper on the with delicious, fresh finish.

A great, intense wine, probably the most impressive in the line-up of Kuentz-Bas grand crus. The structure, tannins and concentrated fruit all work together, while the toast and green apples combine to give it both depth and a lift. It should age as well, over the next 5–10 years.

Compelling minerality on the nose, Refined and focused floral aromas with ample ripe stone fruit and a hint of petrol. Racy acidity and lovely taut palate with generous layers of juicy ripe peach, apricot and nectarine. Strong minerality prevails across the palate leading to a lingering finish. Very balanced.

The weight of the wine is palpable. It has rich spice and great pineapple and mango flavors. As a contrast, there is a lightness of touch that is the Kuentz-Bas hallmark, a final freshness that gives elegance to the powerful wine. Age for 3–5 years.

As much sweet as rich, this is a fruity, red currant-driven wine that intriguingly brings out a more fresh side of Pinot Gris. It is lively as well as sweet, finely balanced, a great wine for smoked meats or pâtés, or just by itself.

A concentrated, fruity wine with intense white fruit flavors. It is very textured, nervy, full of acidity and crisp apple. A wine that has weight and could age for several years.

The suntrap of the terraced slopes of the Rangen vineyard makes a great place for late-ripening varieties such as Riesling. That’s why this wine is so full of ripe white peaches and currants. But it also has fine structure and intensity, which promise long aging. Imported by Kermit Lynch.
