Winery - Leon Beyer
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Spicy and full-bodied, but, in the house style of Léon Beyer, also elegant, dry and poised. There is fine, ripe, spicy, slightly toasty fruit that floats over the concentration and richness. Imported by Martine’s Wines.

Marc Beyer has succeeded well, with a crisp, mineral style of wine that can marry well with so many fish and seafood dishes.

In the style of Beyer wines, this is dry, with good acidity. With its rich, concentrated currant flavors, it is likely to age for many years. Imported by Martine’s Wines.

There is a hint of the maturity of a great botrytis wine, but it is lost in the old, toasty acidity. Three years ago, this would have been a great, but delicate wine. Imported by Martine’s Wines.

Attractive aromas of spring flowers set the scene for this light, fresh wine. White peaches and citric flavors give the wine a good lift. This is an easy, apéritif style of Riesling. Imported by Martine’s Wines.

Fruit from the grand cru vineyard of Pfersigberg forms the backbone to this great wine. Petrol and mineral aromas are a great introduction to the bone-dry white fruit, layers of citrus and crisp finishing acidity on the palate. It is still young, and surely needs another 10 years to mature. Imported by Martine’s Wines.

Beyer makes a habit of holding back old vintages of SGN wines, selling them in half bottles. Even for this producer, a believer in dry Alsace wines, the sweetness of this SGN style is impossible to avoid. But the sweetness is tempered by toasty, mature fruit that shows elegance as much as richness, great acidity and botrytis. Imported by Martine’s Wines.

A rich, dry style, packed with spice and deep, almost brooding, fruit. From vines in the grand cru vineyards of Eichberg and Pfersigberg, this wine bears complex flavors of toast, nutmeg and pepper, along with white fruits. Still young, this wine will evolve over the next 5–10 years. Imported by Martine’s Wines.

A deliciously pure, dry Pinot Gris that has layers of spice over dry toast and fresh, crisp acidity. This is a perfect food wine, packing green fruits and freshness together in a fine balance. Imported by Martine’s Wines.
