Albert Boxler Trio
by Jane Berg
Third-generation vigneron Jean Boxler makes his world-class wines in the immaculate, storybook village of Niedermorschwihr at the eastern base of the Massif des Vosges. It’s surprisingly sunny this far north, and quintessentially Germanic. Colorful, half-timbered houses are topped with pointy gabled roofs that slope as steeply as the surrounding vineyards. Cheerful and orderly, the place is unlike any other in France, and Jean’s wines are similarly unique. He works with nine different grape varieties, all farmed organically in accordance with traditional Alsatian savoir faire. If you’re looking to spice up your wine routine in 2020, look no further than these three wines.
