DOMAINE ALBERT BOXLER Riesling Sommerberg Grand Cru
White Wine, Riesling
2017 – Classic – A relatively dry and sunny season with good flowering and an early harvest. Chardonnay generally retained freshness while achieving full ripeness. The wines are pure, precise, and harmonious, with bright citrus fruit, moderate concentration, and fine mineral definition. They are less monumental than 2014 but beautifully balanced.
2018 – Powerful – A wet winter and spring replenished water reserves before an exceptionally warm, sunny summer. The whites are ripe, broad, and generous, with yellow fruit, richness, and softer acidity. Careful harvesting was essential, as the best wines preserve freshness while others can appear heavy or advanced.
2020 – Powerful – An exceptionally warm, dry, and early vintage in which Chardonnay was harvested from August onwards. Despite the heat, healthy fruit and good acidity produced rich yet surprisingly vibrant wines. They show ripe citrus, considerable concentration, broad texture, and a powerful structure balanced by freshness. The Bourgogne Wine Board described the whites as rich, balanced, and marked by ripe citrus and white-flower aromas.

Domaine Albert Boxler
The historic Domaine Albert Boxler has been producing wine since 1673 in Niedermorschwihr in Alsace and has since remained continuously owned by the Boxler family. The winery owes its name to Albert, which returned to his homeland after the Second World War from Montana, USA, and began to bottle and market the wines of the estate itself under its own label. The charming, contemporary label, designed by his cousin, is still used today. Albert's son Jean-Marc continued the inheritance until he handed over the management of the winery to his son Jean in 1996.
