Armand Hurst
Armand Hurst produces wines from Alsace's Brand Grand Cru, a limestone-rich terroir in the region's heart. The winery focuses on the aromatic white varieties that define the appellation: Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris, both capable of remarkable complexity and aging potential. The Gewürztraminer Vendanges Tardives—a late-harvest expression—and the Pinot Gris Selection de Grains Nobles showcase the concentration and precision that noble rot can impart to Alsatian whites. The standard Pinot Gris Grand Cru rounds the portfolio, offering the variety's characteristic mineral backbone and stone-fruit character. Wine Enthusiast and Decanter have rated these wines at the highest levels, reflecting the technical mastery required to balance Alsace's natural sweetness with acidity and structure.
