Leon Beyer 1998 Sélection de Grains Nobles Tokay Pinot Gris

Price $60

Beyer makes a habit of holding back old vintages of SGN wines, selling them in half bottles. Even for this producer, a believer in dry Alsace wines, the sweetness of this SGN style is impossible to avoid. But the sweetness is tempered by toasty, mature fruit that shows elegance as much as richness, great acidity and botrytis. Imported by Martine’s Wines. — R.V. (2/1/2006)

Leon Beyer 2000 Cuvée des Comtes d’Eguisheim Tokay Pinot Gris

Price $46

A rich, dry style, packed with spice and deep, almost brooding, fruit. From vines in the grand cru vineyards of Eichberg and Pfersigberg, this wine bears complex flavors of toast, nutmeg and pepper, along with white fruits. Still young, this wine will evolve over the next 5–10 years. Imported by Martine’s Wines. — R.V. (2/1/2006)

Leon Beyer 2000 Cuvée Comtes d'Eguisheim Riesling

Price $52

Fruit from the grand cru vineyard of Pfersigberg forms the backbone to this great wine. Petrol and mineral aromas are a great introduction to the bone-dry white fruit, layers of citrus and crisp finishing acidity on the palate. It is still young, and surely needs another 10 years to mature. Imported by Martine’s Wines. — R.V. (11/1/2005)

Leon Beyer 2000 Vendanges Tardives Half Bottle Tokay Pinot Gris

Price $38

In the style of Beyer wines, this is dry, with good acidity. With its rich, concentrated currant flavors, it is likely to age for many years. Imported by Martine’s Wines. — R.V. (2/1/2006)

points

Leon Beyer 2000 R Rare Riesling

Price $48

This wine comes from the grand cru of Eichberg. This is a great wine, beautifully aromatic, just beginning to show some petrol character accenting its soft, ripe, fresh fruit. This is a delicious wine, one that still has plenty of years ahead of it. Imported by Martine’s Wines. — R.V. (11/1/2005)

points

Leon Beyer 2001 Réserve Pinot Gris

Price $33

Spicy and full-bodied, but, in the house style of Léon Beyer, also elegant, dry and poised. There is fine, ripe, spicy, slightly toasty fruit that floats over the concentration and richness. Imported by Martine’s Wines. — R.V. (2/1/2006)

points

Leon Beyer 2001 Les Ecaillers Riesling

Price $37

A great, fresh, clean Riesling that just demands to be drunk. The wine has freshness, crispness, green fruits and balancing acidity. Not very complex, but still delicious. Imported by Martine’s Wines. — R.V. (11/1/2005)

points

Leon Beyer 2010 Riesling

This is a tight, tangy wine, and its fruit is still developing. In the future, it will have a steely, nervy character, with its fruit showing more citrus. — R.V. (8/1/2012)
