We are 100 % estate winegrowers, we vinify exclusively our own harvest. We buy neither grapes, juice, nor wines (Alsatian winegrowers represent only 22% of the regional production).
Located on the dizzy heights of the hills of Guebwiller, in southern Alsace, with slopes reaching 50° and an altitude going from 250 to 390 metres, our mountain-side vineyard is surely one of the most breathtaking in Alsace.
Its excellent southwest, south, and southeast exposure ensures its perfect sun exposure.
Guebwiller is the only spot in Alsace producing 4 Grands Crus. Half of our vineyard, that is to say, 70 hectares, consists of these unique “terroirs”.
The wines of our Grands Crus portray, from year to year, the ancient memory of the stones of our land.
The Vosges sandstone, on the edge of the mountain, produces subtle nuances: plots located only a few meters from each other can produce very different wines.

The attack in the mouth is slender, and the alcohol support full-bodied. We evolve on a medium with strict vivacity, marked by pearl. We find the range of aromas on the nose, always focused on citrus, citron, lemon, white flowers, spices, and ginger, admirably highlighted by the mineral smoked gas, naphtha. We feel a hint of bitterness. The finish has a great length, a frank vivacity, and persistent bitterness. Purified and chiselled, the balance expresses the beautiful crystallinity of the Grand Cru. The noble range of aromas transcends it.
The colour is lemon yellow with light reflections, of good intensity. The disc is shiny, clear, and transparent. Wine has youth. The nose is frank, pleasant, and intense. We perceive dominant fruity smells, citrus, lemon, citron, and white flowers. Aeration amplifies these smells and reveals spices, grated ginger, and a subtle smoky mineral note, naphtha, and gas. The nose confirms the perfect maturity of the grapes, it translates the definition of the terroir in a superb way.
