The " Grands Crus"

The SCHLOSSBERG
has long been recognized as something special: it has been the first vineyard to officially become a "Grand cru" in 1975. The Schlossberg must be cultivated in terraces, since the steepness of the slope allows no other cultivation system. Facing south, its warm granites are fissured down by the race elements-and-sustenance-hungry roots. Granite brings an unmistakable freshness to the wines, which are also characterized by a richly floral bouquet very present in the first years, before minerality asserts its presence after 5 to 10 years of aging.

The FURSTENTUM
calcareous soil of pebbly structure,
also south-facing with an up to 38% slope enhancing exposure to the sun,
therefore enjoying a unique Mediterranean-like flora.
Full-bodied wines are being produced here. Complex and powerful aromas make them wines for aging.

The MAMBOURG
on a calcareous foothill, the furthest into the plain of Alsace, is facing south.
Wines produced here give the best of themselves within their first years.
As years go by, there is a tendency for minerality to become dominant.


The SOMMERBERG
of deeply weathered granite, exceeds 400 meters of elevation.
Slopes are steep (up to 45%).
The wines, combining richness and freshness, are for aging.


The  WINECK-SCHLOSSBERG
Exposed full south in the heart of the Katzenthal dale.
The Wineck-Schlossberg benefits froma a natural protection form winds.
Its wines develop floral tastes, occasionally delicately smoked and clearly mineral the combination of minerality and grape-variety features is noticeable from the very first years.

The "Lieux-dits"

The  PATERGARTEN
The gravely Patergarten is located in the valley of Kaysersberg. The vineyards there enjoy a microclimate allowing an early ripening of the bunches. The wines reflect the personnality of the soil: light and forward.
The ALTENBOURG
is a clay-like and chalky soil. Located just below the Grand Cru "Furstetnum" on the same south-facing hill. The wines are full-bodied and riche in aromas.
The ROSENBOURG
is located on the territory of Riquewihr, facing southeast. The soil is a blend of chalk, silicea and silt, producing stout wines with a smoked touch typical of the named place.
