Joseph Cattin 2007 Vendanges Tardives Gewürztraminer (Alsace)
- Cellar Selection
- $50
Pure sweetness, the wine has a rich texture with just a hint of botrytis but plenty of opulent spice, very rounded and unctuous. It is just beginning to show maturity, but could easily age further, the sweetness so well integrated into the orange zest finish.

Joseph Cattin 2009 Hatschbourg Grand Cru Pinot Gris (Alsace)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Richly textured wine, full of ripe and spicy fruit, the acidity just a hint behind the dried honey and watermelon flavors. It is full-bodied, ripe, packed with intense fruit flavors. A wine for aging over 3–4 years.

Joseph Cattin 2009 Hatschbourg Grand Cru Muscat (Alsace)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
A beautifully perfumed wine, its honey and pear flavors given an almost ethereal character by a light touch of acidity. The wine is just on the edge of richness while still keeping poise and elegance.

Joseph Cattin 2007 Vendanges Tardives Pinot Gris (Alsace)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
A botrytis-driven wine, sweet while also balanced with honey and lemon acidity. The spicy character of Pinot Gris is overtaken by this sweetness, giving a textured wine with a final burst of richness.

Joseph Cattin 2009 Steinbach Pinot Noir (Alsace)
- Online Exclusive
- $38
From the far south of Alsace, Steinbach is known for its Pinot Noir. This wine has the right ripeness, perhaps almost excessive. It has intense black cherry and red berry fruits lying under the high toast wood. Beware the wax stopper that defeats a corkscrew.

Joseph Cattin 2005 Rosé Pinot Noir (Alsace)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
A pale rose color with a coppery tinge, this is a surprisingly complex Pinot Noir-based rosé. Hints of leather and spice impart nuance to the cherry flavors, while the mouthfeel has that silky Pinot Noir quality that lingers on the finish.

Joseph Cattin 2005 Riesling (Alsace)
- $24
Pale yellow in color, this offers up ripe and savory flavors all at once. Notes of pear, peach pit and minerality intermingle with the mouthcoating flavors of sweet dried spice, melon and lime oil. Broad and full, the finish is appropriately dusty and short.
— W.E.
