About This Wine
Wibtal is the highest-altitude section of Grand Cru Sommerberg, a natural amphitheatre at the very top of the steep granite slope above Niedermorschwihr. Boxler farms about 0.8 hectares of Pinot Gris there.
Domaine Albert Boxler is a family estate in Niedermorschwihr, just west of Colmar, where the Boxlers have farmed vines since 1673. Albert Boxler began bottling the family's wine after the Second World War, and his grandson Jean Boxler has run the domaine since 1996. The village sits between two granite grands crus: Sommerberg to the north and the south-facing Brand to the south.
Serving
Serve cool rather than cold with roast pork, foie gras or washed-rind cheeses such as Munster.
About Pinot Gris
Pinot Gris shows ripe orchard fruit and a supple, slightly waxy texture.
