Nestled along France’s easternmost flank, near the country’s borders with Germany and Switzerland, lies the region of Alsace, home to some of the country’s most idyllic villages brimming with vividly colored, half-timbered houses. Standing in the middle of such towns as Ribeauvillé, Katzenthal, or Turckheim—on the outskirts of Colmar—you behold rows and rows of vines that cascade down steep, dazzling hillsides toward you. Kermit once wrote, “Hermitage is that one majestic hillside tilted south like a solar receptor. If there is any single vineyard that the Creator obviously designed expressly for wine production, it is Hermitage.” Gazing up at Alsace’s magnificent hillside vines—reserved for the region’s grand cru sites—you realize you could make a case for their divine creation, too. Then you taste the wines that come from them and the case is closed.
      Take the Geisberg parcel outside Ribeauvillé, whose southfacing Riesling vines benefit from ideal sun exposure and the regular, local Tahlwendala winds that refresh the vineyard and allow for slower, more even ripening. One of just a few domaines to make wine from Geisberg, Kuentz-Bas is blessed with two hectares of seventy-year-old Riesling vines that produce a zesty, mouthwatering, impeccably balanced grand cru with notes of peach, Meyer lemon, and chalk. Every year, it is a strong contender for our greatest grand cru value, and this is especially true of this cellar selection. Don’t miss this special opportunity to taste Kuentz-Bas’s majestic Geisberg with a decade of age!
