Description
The birthplace of the Traminer is in the Italian Tyrol (German-speaking Italy) but then selections have led to a more spicy grape variety, "Gewurzt" in German and the place where the most beautiful Gewurztaminers come from is without a doubt the Alsace because this grape variety shows itself at its best on the granite soils, which emphasizes its intense aromatic palette. Of course they are also grown in other areas and countries but then the style often becomes too sweet and lacks the finesse and acidity that are so typical and this Allimant-Laugner Gewurztraminer is a textbook example of how the sweet noble grape with the right fresh acidity, the spiciness gives the wine the balance it should. The wine ages after fermentation with its natural yeasts for 6-8 months and then also gets a 6-12 month bottle maturation.
The Allimant-Laugner Gewurztraminer is straw yellow with a golden hue in the glass. The fruit and spiciness are very intense, the taste balanced with content. The Alsace Allimant-Laugner Gewurztraminer is very pure and fresh, with orange blossom aromas in the nose. Rich, lush and intense in the mouth, it has a sweet, very elegant tones and aromas with a long, intense, very refined aftertaste. A Gewurztraminer with a perfect alcohol percentage (many are often too high due to the residual sugar) and well balanced and very pleasantly priced for this level. This is a wine for the lover of a fresh wine with sweet tones and is therefore a taste-enhancing aperitif and is of course the perfect companion for spicy Asian dishes and strong cheeses such as a blue-veined cheese or long-matured old cheese.

ABOUT DOMAINE ALLIMANT-LAUGNER
The origins of Domaine Allimant-Laugner begin with 2 families who have cultivated the vineyards since the 17th century, the Laugners in the village of Dieffenthal and the Allimants in Saint-Hippolyte. In 1816 and after participating in all of Napoleon's campaigns, Captain François-Antoine Allimant bought more vines on the hills of Haut-Koenigsbourg and a beautiful farmhouse from 1664 in the village of Orschwiller, the current property of the domaine. Like most families, the Allimants still made a living from growing multiple crops but chose to focus more on wine with Charles Allimant, who began bottling his wine in 1949 and developed their distribution with his daughter Mariette and her husband René Laugner. Their eldest son Hubert took over in 1984, giving the domaine its real fame together with his wife Françoise, and since 2013 with their son Nicolas. The family manages Domaine Allimant-Laugner as a beautiful heritage for more than 10 generations.
The privilege of a product of this unique authentic terroir also gives a responsible and therefore Domaine Allimant-Laugner works naturally with the greatest respect for the environment. All tasks are (pruning, picking, maintenance) and also because through close contact with the vines it is better understood what the needs are. In order to control the power of the vines well and to preserve the ecosystem, they mainly work with alternating ploughed and grassy rows. In the cellar too, modernity and tradition must be well balanced to produce precise and fine wines, but with a minimal human and ecological footprint. They work with a brand new pneumatic press and stainless steel tanks with temperature control and fermentation takes place only with natural yeasts. The foundation is laid in the unique vineyards that have been managed by the family for 10 generations. With respect and modernity, Domaine Allimant-Laugner makes great wines.

From granite soils, the Laugner 2020 Gewurztraminer opens with a clear, fresh, intense and spicy nose with citrus fruit and potted ginger aromas (lemons, grapefruit) as well as salty, peppery and clove notes. Full-bodied and rich on the palate, this is a round, dense and savory Gewurztraminer with ripe pear aromas and a lush, viscous texture. Quite sweet but still elegant and refined, this is a serious menu wine with positive tannic bitters and grip that just needs a few more years to shine. Seed flavors such as fennel and Persian cumin populate the finish. 13.5% stated alcohol. Diam cork. Tasted in February 2023.

In 1816 and after participating in all of Napoleon's campaigns, Captain François-Antoine Allimant buys more vines on the Haut-Koenigsbourg hills and a beautiful 1664 farm in the village of Orschwiller, the current property of the domain.
Like most families, the Allimants still subsisted on growing more crops but chose to focus more on wine with Charles Allimant, who began bottling his wine in 1949 and developed their distribution with his daughter Mariette and her husband René Laugner. . Their eldest son Hubert took over in 1984, gave the domain real fame together with his wife Françoise, and since 2013 with their son Nicolas. The family manages Domaine Allimant-Laugner as a beautiful heritage of more than 10 generations.
The 7 varieties from Alsace (Alsace) are grown on a total of 12 hectares of vines, representing 40 separate plots of different orientations, ages and terroirs. This division of parcels is essential for the varieties to be properly expressed on the right grounds. South of the village, between Orschwiller and Saint-Hippolyte, the heavy clay and limestone soils are particularly suitable for the Pinots. North of the village as far as Châtenois there are granitic soils which allow the production of more aromatic Riesling and Gewurztraminer. Above Orschwiller, the granite and schist hills of the Praelatenberg have been turned into vines since the 9th century. This terroir allows the production of precise and very typical wines, naturally classified as Grand Cru d'Alsace. The plots have a density of more than 5500 vines per hectare, which promotes competition and deeper rooting, for better typicity. The more competition the harder a grape has to work and the deeper it has to root. Bad for high volumes but perfect for quality and that is what this house stands for.
The demand for sparkling wine is also growing in the region and the Crémants Blanc and Rosé, produced by the traditional method with our local varieties, represent half of the production of Domaine Allimant-Laugner and have certainly given the house much more international fame. after each and every one of the wines has received very high ratings from the international wine press.
The privilege of a product of this unique authentic terroir also entails a responsibility and so Domaine Allimant-Laugner works naturally with the greatest respect for the environment. All tasks (plant pruning, picking, maintenance) are done naturally, also because the close contact with the vines gives a better understanding of the needs.
