【ジョスメイヤー】ゲヴェルツトラミネールキュヴェ デ フォラストリー 　2004

何時もながら文句なく旨いゲヴェルツです。流石ジョスメイヤーです。

トロトロです。凄いエキス分です。

残糖17gでアルコール度数15度と言う凄いワインです。

ちなみに40g以上が甘口で、美味しい貴腐ワインは200gクラスです。

10g以下は超辛口です。

フォアグラとイチジクとの相性も最高です。

ライチ、マンゴスチン、マスカットの甘い香り、軽い石油香、ユリの花、余韻に残る果実の甘み、ふくよかなミネラル、スパイシーな余韻、綺麗で優しい酸、素晴らしいバランスのゲヴェルツです。

5年後も楽しみですが、ドンドン飲んで減って行きそうです。

流石癒しのジョスメイヤーですね。

2007 Maison Josmeyer et Fils Gewurztraminer Cuvee des Folastries

Apr 2010 David Schildknecht 87 Drink: N/A 
Josmeyer's 2007 Gewurztraminer Folastries is dominated by celery seed, rose petal, and brown spices, with a lush, broad palate impression enlivened by wafting smokiness and a saline streak. Despite 14 grams of sugar and 15% alcohol it evinces barely a hint of sweetness or heat. Nonetheless, I would count on enjoying it over the next couple of years.

Jean Meyer and his son-in-law Christopher Ehrhart are among the many passionate proponents of biodynamic viticulture who insist that this regimen is responsible for their being able to harvest earlier. That may be all to the good if it means lower potential alcohol (and thus also potentially dry) wines of satisfying ripeness. Time was when the wines here were nearly all modest in alcohol yet analytically dry, even well after a regional trend had set in toward sweetness. And in those instances where today's bottlings harbor residual sugar measurable in single digits, I can generally agree with Jean Meyer that - even in a botrytis-challenged year like 2006 - "the balance is ok. And besides," he adds, "I hate to try to push to get the wine to go dry because you can fatigue it." As for alcohol, judging by performance - even if one doesn't look at the analyses - some of the 2007s here are challenged by their high levels, even though picking began on the first of September, the earliest in the estate's more than 150 year history. Meyer and Ehrhart say they had planned to begin picking in 2006 on precisely the September 17 when tropic-like torrents fell, forcing on them a protracted, highly selective, and ultimately tiny harvest. I did not have chance to taste nearly all of the many cuvees (including lot variations on a given label) that - as usual - emanated from this estate in 2007, and (due to time constraints) tasted significantly fewer of their 2006s.
