Boeckel 2017 Riesling Brandluft (ORGANIC)
This lieu-dit was the first sold by Boeckel in the 19th century and holds a special place in their pantheon. Its
highly complex soils on a sandy base give rise to a hauntingly-scented wine with a finesse suggestive of a
Grand Cru (as with the Clos Eugénie below). Quite exceptional in this vintage.
