Albert Boxler is a domaine in France producing wine from under the Alsace, Crémant d'Alsace and Alsace Grand Cru AOCs.

The estate's vineyard holdings, located in the Haut-Rhin around the village of Niedermotschwihr, have been in the Boxler family since 1673, but it was not until 1946 that Albert Boxler produced, bottled, and labeled wines under the family name.

The domaine is currently operated by Jean Boxler, Albert's grandson, and is best known for its white wines from subplots within the Sommerberg and Brand Grand Cru vineyards.

Estate holdings are approximately 14 hectares (34 acres) of vineyard land with a wine portfolio that is almost exclusively composed of white varietal wines and blends. Primary grape varieties include Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Blanc with small portions of Pinot Noir also produced. After a hand-harvest, grapes and juice are cold-settled in the winery prior to fermentation with indigenous yeasts.


Tasting Notes :
Deep straw-yellow. Honey and sweet spices dominate the nose and speak of the Auxerrois presence. Then fresher with apricot and beeswax flavors thanks to the Pinot Blanc dominating the Auxerrois, but finishes creamy and long. This year Boxler blended together his Pinot Blanc from the Brand (planted in 1969) and his Pinot Blanc planted around Niedermorschwihr (two plots dating back to the 1950s) along with his Auxerrois (planted in 1946) because he felt the blend was much better than the monovariety Pinot Blanc wine (this is therefore a two-thirds/one-third Pinot Blanc–Auxerrois blend).
