The 2010 “Calcaire” Gewürztraminer from Zind-Humbrecht is a wine that surprises precisely because it embraces moderation—despite being made from a grape variety known for its excesses.
In the glass, it displays a radiant golden-yellow color with warm highlights that reflect its aging without any loss of quality. It is a vibrant, lively color—not dull—that befits a vintage that has produced wines of great balance.
The nose is delicate and complex, a far cry from caricatures of aroma: dried rose, ripe lychee, pink grapefruit peel, followed by candied ginger, green tea, and a hint of oriental spices. Over time, notes of light honey, medicinal herbs, and a chalky minerality emerge, refreshing and bringing order to the aromatic profile.
On the palate, it is full-bodied yet firm, with a surprisingly vertical texture for this grape variety. The residual sweetness is noticeable but perfectly balanced by a briny acidity that clearly stems from the limestone soils. The impression is never overpowering; rather, it is that of a precise, well-structured wine that unfolds in layers.
The 2010 vintage has now reached an elegant stage of maturity, with well-integrated tertiary aromas and plenty of aging potential. It pairs perfectly with spicy—but not hot—dishes, delicate blue cheese, or dishes featuring shellfish and sweet spices.
