Un Cheval de Trop is an orange wine from Domaine Jean-Claude Buecher, made from Gewurztraminer in the 2019 vintage. The grapes come from a parcel of Grand Cru Hengst planted in 1950, and the name plays on 'Hengst', which means stallion in Alsatian. They were picked late, in November, and given a seven-day semi-carbonic maceration, then made without added sulphites. The result is a dry, structured Gewurztraminer in which tension and balance take precedence over richness.
The nose offers rose, lychee, citrus peel and exotic fruit, with sweet spice and tea. The palate is broad and balanced, with fresh acidity and fine tannins from the maceration. The finish is long, lightly spiced and tense.
