Zind-Humbrecht’s 2010 “Calcaire” Gewürztraminer is a wine that surprises precisely because it strikes a balance in a grape variety known for its exuberance.
In the glass, it displays a bright golden yellow hue, with warm highlights that speak to its steady evolution. It is a vibrant color, not dull, consistent with a vintage that has produced wines of great balance.
The nose is delicate and complex, far from any aromatic clichés: dried rose, ripe lychee, pink grapefruit zest, 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 the palate and bringing balance to the aromatic profile.
On the palate, it is full-bodied yet taut, with a surprisingly vertical structure for this grape variety. The residual sugar is noticeable but perfectly balanced by a salty acidity that clearly stems from the limestone soils. The wine never feels cloying; rather, it is precise and well-defined, unfolding in layers.
Today, the 2010 vintage has reached an elegant maturity, with well-integrated tertiary aromas and still plenty of aging potential. It pairs perfectly with spicy but not hot dishes, delicate blue cheeses, or dishes featuring shellfish and sweet spices.
