Most of our wines are created in the vineyards. We work together with the vintage effect, which can be detrimental, among other things, to the ripeness of the grapes and their concentration. The vintage effect is a story of weather where the notions of sunshine, rain fall and temperature directly influence the quantity and quality of the harvest. Like the humans who cultivate the vine, each new year brings its share of sparks and shocks.
The mood of the weather can result in a dry or more gourmand Alsace white wine. Aromatic character, structure, and minerality can be marked by the year.
« Les détails font la perfection et la perfection n’est pas un détail. »
Cette citation de Léonard de Vinci fait écho à la rigueur de nous nous imposons. Voici une liste de quelques éléments nous permettant d’optimiser la qualité de nos vins blancs d’Alsace secs.
"Details make perfection and perfection is not a detail".
This quote from Leonardo da Vinci echoes the rigor we impose on ourselves. Here is a list of some of the elements that allow us to optimize the quality of our dry Alsace white wines.
Born from a thousand-year-old tradition, Alsace wines show some distinctive characteristics. Among them, the flute and the original bottling.
Fine and chic, the flute is easily recognizable. Since the 1970's, wines bearing the appellation "Alsace" or "Alsace Grand Cru" must be presented in this bottle. Also, Alsace wines must be bottled in their region of production. This last point adds an additional rigor allowing the optimal traceability of the vintages.
Our dry Alsace white wines are available in all authorized grape varieties. Sylvaner, Muscat, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Riesling; the Alsace vineyard is rich in personality.
However, we are particularly fond of Riesling, and its great capacity to reflect the terroir on which it grows. Just taste our Grands Crus one after the other. Marly-limestone soil, pink sandstone, schist...! The result is eloquent on the palate.
A tasting of our dry Alsace wines will allow you to discover crystalline wines, made for gastronomy.

Once installed in the comfort of your cellar, not all wines need to tickle your patience. Some of them are made to be consumed quickly. This is the case of our dry Alsace white wines. Their greedy constitution can be appreciated from their early youth. A prolonged ageing would risk to fade them. We believe that it is better to drink a wine too young than too old. Let's drink a toast!
