2018 Pinot Blanc
Albert BoxlerThis Pinot Blanc is a masterful display of subtlety and refinement. Honeysuckle, peaches, and stone don’t shout at, but whisper seductively to your nose and palate.

2020 Edelzwicker
France | Alsace
Blending grand cru Riesling and Pinot Gris, which Jean says he “steals” from his noblest cuvées, as well as Pinot Blanc and Sylvaner, it bears a honeyed lusciousness.
2020 Pinot Gris Grand Cru “Brand”
France | Alsace
Decadent, rich, stony, and a touch off-dry—hard not to love.
2018 Pinot Gris Réserve
France | Alsace
Earthy Pinot Gris as dramatic and flinty as this, with a hint of residual sugar, demands an assertive pairing; try it with smoked sausage and mustard.
2018 Pinot Gris Grand Cru “Brand”
France | Alsace
Decadent, rich, stony, and a touch off-dry—hard not to love.
2018 Crémant d’Alsace Brut
France | Alsace
Boxler's Cremant is pure joy in a bottle. This is my favorite wine to share with friends and family. Add a good cheese board to the mix for the perfect holiday get together.
2017 Riesling Grand Cru “Sommerberg” Vendange Tardive
France | Alsace
Late-harvest wines of this quality in Alsace take incredible skill to make. This is a supremely beautiful example of a harmonious, highly successful partnership between man and nature.
2016 Pinot Gris “Heimbourg”
France | Alsace
Heimbourg, a very stony, steep limestone terroir in Turckheim, produces a powerful, full-bodied style of Pinot Gris with exceptional aging potential.
2020 Riesling Grand Cru “Sommerberg”
France | Alsace
It’s hard to imagine this beauty could taste any better than it does now, but I’ll be curious to revisit it in five to ten years.
2020 Pinot Blanc
France | Alsace
With beautiful texture and notes of honeysuckle, peaches, and stones, this Pinot Blanc is a masterful display of subtlety and refinement.
2017 Pinot Gris Grand Cru “Brand”
France | Alsace
Boxler’s regal Pinot Gris—in this case, sourced exclusively from his grand cru Brand holdings—captures the essence of Pinot Gris in all of its textural glory.

About The Region
Alsace
Tragically, Alsace might be the most misunderstood wine region of France. In spite of its long history of viticulture and tremendous diversity of pedigreed terroirs, a past fraught with marketing mishaps has left consumers baffled as to what exactly to expect inside one of these mysterious tall, thin bottles.
The good news, on the other hand, is that a new wave of quality-oriented growers is working hard to put Alsace in its rightful place as one of the world’s most fascinating sources of fine white wine. By embracing tradition, respecting terroir, and making a concerted effort to better communicate the countless virtues their wines have to offer, they have succeeded in putting Alsace back on the map.
Crafted from a number of grape varieties and beautifully interpreting the region’s mosaic of soil types, our Alsace imports are by and large dry whites offering exceptional versatility at table. While each of these selections is ready to be uncorked tonight, the finest among them are also capable of maturing for many, many years in a cool cellar. Expect kaleidoscopic aromatics, lively acidities, and loads of terroir transparency in these skillfully crafted masterpieces. Enjoy a foray into the thrilling world of the world’s most underrated wine region, and certainly do not hesitate to contact our sales staff with any questions as you take off on this mouth-watering adventure.

Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
