Winery - Lucien Albrecht
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This light-bodied sparkling wine features modest apple and citrus aromas and flavors but also a sense of earthiness. It doesn’t seem quite as dry as some of its brethren, making it less zippy on the finish.

Albrecht’s sparkling rosé is a consistent performer year after year, offering delicate melon and peach aromas, modest fruit flavors and hints of chalky minerality, all carried by a soft, creamy mouthfeel. It’s easy to drink and easy to like.

Sexy aromas of expensive perfume, exotic spices and honey give way to a strikingly intense palate accented by caramelized apple notes. Finish is long and a bit sweet. Serve this luxurious wine with lobster in a fruit preparation.

This late harvest Riesling has beautiful, intense layers of botrytis with acidity to balance the layers of honey, cream and apples. To give it aging potential, there is mineral character, while there is freshness and lift to finish. Imported by Pasternak Wine Imports.

When it is this sweet, Pinot Gris loses some of its spicy character, adds acidity and becomes a delicious, sweet wine. But the richness of the grape stays, and this wine is intense and concentrated, with noble rot to add complexity to the sweetness. It will develop for another 10 years at least. Imported by Pasternak Wine Imports.

Nails the textural element of Pinot Gris, dealing pear, melon, honey and citrus scents, then a rich, thickly textured mouthfeel. Tastes like peach and pear nectar, without being simply fruity, backed by a river of liquid minerals and a subtle nuttiness. Imported by Pasternak Wine Imports.

A medium-bodied to full Gewürz, with floral aromas that carry attractive lychee notes. But bubble gum flavors seem slightly confected on the palate, and the wine finishes short.

Concentrated honey and lemon flavors mark this ripe, rich, sweet wine. There is some botrytis, giving a fine structure to the wine. It is just beginning to mature, but should continue to develop over the next 4–5 years. Imported by Pasternak Wine Imports.

Made in a relatively soft, friendly style, this wine starts off floral and citrusy, then turns honeyed and apple-y in the mouth. Plump and low acid, it’s an easy introduction to Alsace’s Riesling. Imported by Pasternak Wine Imports.

Intense orange marmalade and botrytis notes on the nose also come through on the palate. This wine is concentrated and intense, with layers of acidity balancing its intense sweetness. Give this wine 10 years. Imported by Pasternak Wine Imports.
