Tasting notes
From 43-year-old vines on sedimentary volcanic rocks (tuffs and graywacke), the 2022 Clos Saint Urbain Rangen de Thann Gewurztraminer is pure, saline and flinty on the nose that reveals lemon and grapefruit peels. Lush, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a rich, tight and tannic, classically bitter yet also almost austere-finishing Gewürztraminer with power and tension. The wine lacks a bit of generosity, but it has power and concentration. 14.54% stated alcohol plus four grams per liter of residual. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024.
