Description

Sumptuous vendange tardive from lieu-dit Altenbourg, lying just beyond the border of grand cru Furstentum.

91 points
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2008
"The 2004 Pinot Gris Altenbourg Cuvee Laurence is far and away the most polished and elegant of the Weinbach ’04 Pinot Gris bottlings. Musky, truffly, honeyed, and nutty aromas, a rich and creamy, piquantly nutty and in no way heavy palate impression, and a honeyed finish fascinatingly tinged with iodine-, lobster shell-like mineral notes combine for compelling, memorable complexity. Like its 2005 counterpart, this should evolve interestingly for at least 7-9 years. The dynamic trio of Fallers continues to bottle some of France’s (hardly just Alsace’s) richest and most flamboyant wines. Beginning with 2005, all of their vineyards are being biodynamically farmed. Laurence Faller finds their 2005s in general “more focused and clear” (this was especially true of Riesling) despite their often prominent botrytis component, and the 2004s richer."

Wine Spectator, October 2006
"Lush and off-dry, full of flavor and personality. Quince, grapefruit and spice are the main flavors, with a firm structure and powerful presence. Cruises to a long, lingering finish. Drink now through 2010."
