Domaine Léon Boesch 2009 Zinnkoepfle Grand Cru Gewürztraminer (Alsace)
Sheer decadence characterizes, a wine that has ripe tropical fruits, with a smooth and unctuous texture. It is powerful; the alcohol expresses itself in pepper. As stylish as any Gewürztraminer can be.

Domaine Léon Boesch 2009 Zinnkoepfle Grand Cru Riesling (Alsace)
- Cellar Selection

Very tight and young at this stage, this is an impressive wine, relying on a strong, concentrated mineral character while also showing richness. It is powered by a core of tight acidity surrounded by warmer apple and pineapple flavors. Age for 3–4 years.

Domaine Léon Boesch 2008 Brut Zéro White (Crémant d'Alsace)
Just what is says on the label: this is a bone-dry, mineral and steel wine with citrus flavors. It is full of vivid acidity that bursts in the mouth. There is just a hint of bitterness at the end.
