MAISON KLIPFEL

Created in 1824 by Martin Klipfel and developed by the late André Lorentz (an insatiable promoter of Alsace wines who was a member of the Académie des Vins de France), this beautiful wine house is now run by the Helfrich family. This family business has about 40 hectares of vines, including 15 hectares on the Kirchberg Grands Crus of Barr, Kastelberg and Wiebelsberg in Andlau. Since 1830, it has been the sole owner of the fabulous Clos Zisser. As early as 1921, the House of Klipfel produced Vendanges Tardives and Sélection de Grains Nobles, long before these mentions were made official. It is also one of the pioneers in the Burgundian barrel ageing of Pinot Noir. The estate's marvellous oenotheque contains wines from the beginning of the 20th century. A visit to the cellar and the museum is very interesting as it allows you to discover the life of the vine and wine with a beautiful collection of tools and objects amassed over time. Tasting visits and tasting initiations are organised all year round, by appointment. As for the wines, the choice is Cornelian, as the Klipfel range is so rich in excellent vintages. Some beautiful nuggets to discover during your visit: Sylvaner Côtes de Barr 2016, Rouge d'Ottrott Cuvée Louis Klipfel 2017 (pinot noir), Muscat Grand Cru Kirchberg de Barr Clos Zisser Domaine André Lorentz 2018.
