Note: The foundation for this index to the Gewurztraminer producers of Alsace, France was Parker's Wine Buyer's Guide, 3rd Edition, by Robert M. Parker, Jr., 1993. All wine tasting notes/comments are either those of the respective winery and/or of dealers of wine & spirits on the internet. Where possible, the origin/source of the tasting note/comment is given, if known.
In Parker's Wine Buyer's Guide, 1989 - 1990 Edition, by Robert M. Parker, Jr., A Fireside Book, © 1989, on page 52, he lists what he considered the best Gewurztraminers of Alsace. I've identified these producers/vineyards below with an # before the producer's name. Note: Not all of a Producer's product may have this designation, in fact some vintages dating after Mr. Parker's publication may not considered the best.
From the tasting notes and ratings I've seen, Zind-Humbrecht is probably considered the best overall Gewurztraminer producer, and is the benchmark to measure Alsatian Gewurztraminer against.
