Zind Humbrecht Gewurztraminer Rangen de Thann Clos St Urbain GC 2024
DOZEN: $2,364.00 or $197.00 each
The 2024 Gewurztraminer Rangen de Thann Clos Saint Urbain Grand Cru, from plots lower down on the slope, shimmers shyly on the nose, surrounding ripe pear with just a flutter of rose petals. The palate is beautifully clean cut, adding exquisite blood orange zest and ripeness to the white peach notions on the palate, making for a seductive, scented core. Creaminess comes in, too, sinking deeper and deeper into orange zest. The fact that this has 10.9 grams per liter of residual sugar means that the fruit notions are boosted without obvious sweetness. The balance this strikes is simply marvellous. (Dry) (97) ANNE KREBIEHL MW
Bright yellow color. Still discreet and restrained, the nose reveals an aromatic palette blending ripe fruit and gunflint. This complex profile, bordering on austerity, is actually welcome in this grape variety, which is too often overly expressive. On the palate, the volcanic character (gunflint, smoky) asserts itself with an elegant and refined mouthfeel. A frank acidity enhances the finish and literally makes you forget the semi-dry classification, which here loses all meaning given the balance of this wine. This late 2024 vintage has ultimately produced some magnificent Gewurztraminers that shine with their elegance and gastronomic potential. OLIVIER HUMBRECHT MW
