DOMAINE MAURICE SCHŒCH ET FILS
This venerable family of winegrowers has been established in Ammerschwihr for several generations. Its members have been able to transmit their passion for vines and wine from father to son with intelligence and foresight. Here, of course, there are superb Grands Crus Kaefferkopf, including the delicious Gewurztraminer, which proves to be an excellent aperitif and reception wine. We also discover with pleasure the fruit of the work of Maurice Schoech's sons, Sébastien and Léon, in a typical tasting cellar. The vines spread over 8 hectares are cultivated in a sustainable way: they produce specialities very well represented by the Cuvée Justin (a terroir wine aged in the woods, dry, powerful and structured) or the Pinot auxerrois Vieilles Vignes nicely fresh and easy to drink. Add to that a pinot noir matured in oak barrels with superb red fruit notes, as well as a gewurztraminer Sélection de Grains Nobles which turns out to be a fabulous wine to keep.
