Domaine Camille Braun - Gewurztraminer Grand Cru - PFINGSTBERG 2023
Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Pfingstberg 2023 from Domaine Camille Braun intensely and precisely expresses the greatness of this emblematic Alsace terroir, known for its ability to combine aromatic power and balance. The golden yellow color with bright reflections announces a full-bodied and expressive wine. The nose opens with deep aromas of fresh rose, lychee, and ripe exotic fruits, complemented by notes of orange peel, sweet spices, and an elegant floral touch. Upon aeration, nuances of ginger, fine honey, and subtle minerality appear, bringing complexity and depth. The whole is rich but perfectly controlled, without heaviness, with great aromatic clarity. From the first sniff, the wine asserts the nobility of the grand cru Pfingstberg and the precision of the estate's work.
On the palate, the attack is broad and silky, supported by generous material balanced by structuring freshness. The texture is enveloping, with a controlled roundness sensation that highlights the aromatic expression of Gewurztraminer without ever saturating the palate. Flavors of ripe fruits, citrus, and spices continue on a fine mineral framework that brings tension and length. Precise vinification and respectful aging of the fruit allow the wine to maintain great elegance despite its natural richness. The palate gains depth as the tasting progresses, revealing a remarkable harmony between power, finesse, and freshness. The finish is long, aromatic, and delicately spiced, marked by a persistent impression of purity.
