The 1994 Gewurztraminer Sonnenglanz Vieilles Vignes was made from yields of 15 hectoliters per hectare (about 1/2 ton per acre). Pure, rich, and full-bodied, with an unctuous texture and gobs of extract, this intense, in-your-face Gewurztraminer is akin to eating liquefied roses intermingled with honeyed pineapple. Given its power, richness, and balance, it should drink well for 12-15+ years. The 1994 offerings look to be some of the most exciting wines to emerge from Alsace. Bott-Geyl's low profile and insider reputation translate into reasonable prices .... for now.Twenty-eight-year old Jean-Christophe is earning considerable accolades from the French wine press for this estate's change in direction. Given the high prices fetched by the truly great wines of Alsace, readers should note that Bott-Geyl's prices have not risen as high as the quality level mandates.European Cellars is located at 121 West 27th Street, Suite 1103, New York, NY 10001; tel.
