We do not receive a great deal of media coverage and are not susceptible to simply following the latest trends. We
do, however, devote all our energy to producing superb wines to be
enjoyed with great food; wines that are representative of and bear the
hallmarks of their terroir. In the area around our village, we’re
lucky to have land that due to the characteristics of the local
terroir, are ideal for Riesling. Thus these wines - and various other
wines we produce, are regularly praised in industry publications,
guides and competitions.

Guide Hachette des Vins 2007
2 stars for the Pinot Gris Cuvée des Premiers Frimas 2004 - « This vineyard produced a wonderful catch last year in terms of
Riesling. All their expertise with Pinot Gris shines through with this
straw-yellow wine and its exotic fruit notes (mango), opulent and
complex, together with delicate mineral hints. In the mouth, remarkably
balanced and pleasantly lively, fresh citrus notes with good
persistence. A promising wine, well worth waiting two to three years
before drinking. »

Coup de Cœur 2 stars for the Riesling of Wolxheim 2003
: « Wolxheim is famous for its Rieslings - this isn’t the first time a
quite remarkable wine has come out of the terroir of this property. This
2003 wins us over straightaway with its intense, complex aromas of
candied fruit, dried fruit and mineral hints. The palette of flavours
persists through a powerful, rich mouth-feel where surmuri, persistent
fruit aromas win the day.. »
1 star for the Riesling Altenberg of Wolxheim 2003
: « Once again, we find this vineyard singled out for its Riesling
Grand Cru. Straw yellow with green highlights, the 2003 is remarkable
for its nose, powerful, yet delicate, with candied fruit notes. Supple
attack, rich and balanced, delightfully fresh, the finish is
characterised by citrus notes. Altogether, a very elegant wine that
will soon be ready for drinking. »
1 star for the Cremant d’Alsace Brut
: « … ; yet again, they have offered the jury an extremely pleasant
Crémant. Comprised of 80 % Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Riesling, this
wine gives us a fine, delicate, fruity nose. Fresh, well-balanced and
structured. »
