Olivier Humbrecht's supremely rich, complex and concentrated wines are controversial owing to their overwhelming power, often considerable residual sugar and flamboyant personalities. But this is one of the world's great producers of white wine, with no corners cut in the vines or... more
Expert Reviews
Knockout botrytis aromas of apricot, peach and honey. Olivier used about 25% healthy grapes to keep this wine from getting too sticky. A magical combination of warm, candied fruits and botrytis tang, with the flavors given grip and vibrancy by 10.5 g/l acidity. Incredible concentration and richness, not to mention persistence. An SGN of great verve; approachable today thanks to its extraordinary fruit. After admitting that in years past he tended to go for record must weights, Olivier says he now draws the line at 23%-25% potential alcohol—"otherwise the wine is undrinkable for the first 50 years."
