Guide Hachette des Vins 2012

Alsace Grand cru BRAND
	...Deep yellow with golden glints, this wine mingles overripe fruit aromas, vanilla, honey and candied bergamot. Mirabelle plum jam is added to this range of aromas in the round, smooth, rich and lingering mouth. A pleasant sweet wine, that will be opened for Christmas, as an aperitif or for the dessert with Alsatian ginger bread for example.

Alsace Muscat
	... They sign a cuvée with an appealing hue, pale yellow, brilliant and limpid. Already intense in the nose, fruity and balanced, it is a typical muscat, to be served as an aperitif or with asparagus.
Alsace grand cru Hengst
	...This one has an intense golden yellow color. The nose is also intense, with rose aromas. In the mouth, the floral nuances are still present, with over maturation's candied notes added (yellow fruits). As round as you could wish, with a nice fresh finish, this dessert wine can be enjoyed from now.

Alsace Grand Cru BRAND
	...Golden yellow and limpid, this 2007 exudes discreet notes of candied fruits and dried apricots which foretell a good richness. Yellow fruits and honey mingle in the palate: supple in the attack, ample and fat, pleasantly fresh in the finish. It will fit duck breasts or "pressé de caille au foie gras".
Crémant d'Alsace
	... They have blended auxerrois (55%), riesling (35%) and pinot blanc to elaborate this straw yellow wine brightened by a steady raw of thin bubbles. The nose is fine and mingles light notes of fruits and butter. The mouth is fat, with exotic fruits, a nice freshness and a lingering finish.

Guide Hachette des Vins 2008

Alsace Grand Cru BRAND
	...Here the Brand gives birth to a golden yellow wine, with first an overripe fruit nose, then mineral. The rich, powerful and persistant body is full of overripe fruit. Supple rather than vivid, this wine will not stay a long time in your cellar.

Guide Hachette des Vins 2007

Guide Hachette des Vins 2007

Alsace Grand Cru BRAND
	...Deep yellow with old golden tints, this 2004 is marked by over-maturity, in the mouth like on the nose : it displays quince, fruit jelly and on the palate, candied fruits and honey. If this wine is not the longest, it stands out from the attack with its strength, richness and opulence.

Alsace Pinot Noir
	... Pinot Noir les Terrasses comes from a chalky-clayed soil. Its ruby hue with orange tints shows already some maturity. On the nose, dried fruits and slightly woody notes mingle. It is ample and powerful in the mouth.
Alsace Grand Cru BRAND
	... Straw yellow hue, this wine displays a fine fruit with hints of overmaturity, and a smoky note in the mouth. A powerful and balanced wine.

Guide Hachette des Vins 2005

Guide Hachette des Vins 2005

Alsace Gewurztraminer
	... proposes a gewurztraminer born from the light soils of alluvium brought by the Fecht, one of the Vosges rivers tributary on the Ill. Very rich in pebbles, they are quite permeable. Yellow with golden hints, this wine gives intense fragrances of rose with candied mirabelle notes. Powerful, full bodied, well balanced despite its high content of residual sugar, it is redolent of rose until its delicate finish. To be waited a bit.
Alsace Grand Cru BRAND
	... grows vineyards in three Grand Crus and especially in the Brand of Turckheim that has given this golden yellow Riesling. Its expressive and elegant nose mingles ripe fruit and floral notes slightly musky. Remarkably ample and generous, it is a harmonious and long wine which will please connoisseurs. It will accompany fishes and poultry in sauce.

Guide Hachette des Vins 2004

Alsace Grand Cru BRAND
	... Despite its granite origin, there is a still too young Riesling, closed on the nose. Its fruity flavours harmonize with the supple but crisp character that reveals in the mouth. This wine needs a little time to open out.

Guide Hachette des Vins 2003

Guide Hachette des Vins 2003

Alsace Grand Cru HENGST
	... The pale yellow hue of this Gewurztraminer is supported by greenish lights. Wild rose, dried apricot and violet are dominant in the nose. The mouth, full bodied and structured, benefits from the quality of the grapes. This young wine, quite fresh, needs to be kept 4 or 5 years.

Guide Hachette des Vins 2002

Guide Hachette des Vins 2002

Alsace Grand Cru BRAND
	... Straw yellow to golden hue, intense and overripe fruit, accented by honey notes, powerful palate, racy, balanced, finishing on a good backing acidity. This is a wine whose winemaking has been good controlled and that can be enjoyed for itself, without accom- paniment.

Alsace Pinot Noir
	... Pinot Noir Les Terrasses is a true red wine whose deep purple hue surprises. On the nose, the fruit mingles in fine wooden notes. A great structure reveals in the mouth where the vanilla flavours persist in the finish. A wine to be waited 2 or 3 years before being served with red meat or game.
Alsace Grand Cru BRAND
	... the nose, first discreet, opens on whites flowers aromas and light iodised accents. A fresh attack, without excess of vivacity, the mouth is really harmo- nious. A great Riesling.
