Jean-Baptiste Adam 2005 Sélection de Grains Nobles Gewürztraminer (Alsace)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $90
With its distinctive bouquet of rose petals and lychee fruit, this dessert wine’s Gewürztraminer character shines clearly through a modest veil of botrytis. It’s sweet and viscous without being overly heavy, with a long, spice-driven finish. Tremendous stuff, with a wonderful sense of harmony and balance.

Cotton candy notes overlap with licorice and spice aromas to create a very enticing bouquet. The luxurious, concentrated palate serves up flavors of brown sugar and honey. Set aside a good amount of time to enjoy the finish.

Jean-Baptiste Adam 2005 Vendanges Tardives Pinot Gris (Alsace)
- $50
Although one could wish for more aromatic complexity in a Vendanges Tardives, notes of lemon poppy-seed cake are very satisfying. The intense, layered palate shows notes of candied fruit and spice and leads to a long, lush finish.

Jean-Baptiste Adam 2008 Pinot Blanc (Alsace)

Attractive gold color. Intense aromas of ripe stone fruit fruit. Strong earthy minerality and a hint of honeysuckle adding complexity. Broad persistent flavors across the palate with focused minerality and an earthy savoriness that is beautifully balanced with the ripe fruit. Crisp and taut with a long, layered finish.

Jean-Baptiste Adam 2006 Kaefferkopf Vieilles Vignes Riesling (Alsace)
- $39
Complex honey notes grab you by the shirt collar and pull you into the glass. The palate, though well-balanced and showing good concentration, doesn’t have the same multi-dimensionality as the nose but finishes with a lingering apricot note.

Jean-Baptiste Adam NV Brut Rosé Sparkling (Alsace)

Pale salmon color with some copper hints. Somewhat muted nose with subtle aromas of ripe red-berry fruit. Crisp with more lift on the palate, vigorous mousse and lively flavors of redcurrant, wild strawberry and cherry. Medium-bodied with some creaminess to the texture that persists on the finish. Well-made but not very complex.
