RARE MAG! library release from the exceptional 2015 vintage - only got 6, grab one while they last.
2015 is considered the greatest Alsace vintage since 1990 and 1971, though quantities were not large!
A perfect weather script for Alsace: a warm, dry spring and early summer was followed by a July heatwave, to the extent that the vines were suffering by early August. Rain storms on August 9th and 10th were hugely helpful, and after that, the vines ripened perfectly for a leisurely harvest throughout September
A rising star in Alsace, Sebastien Mann joined the family estate in 2009Â
