Wines and spirits Châtenois

Created in 1981 by Cécile and Robert, this family estate is now run by their son Pierre. You'll discover mainly dry white wines from a wide variety of terroirs. During your visit, you'll be welcomed on the production site, where you can admire some superb traditional foudres. The estate organizes a variety of wine-tourism activities: vineyard tours, picnics at the winemaker's, gourmet aperitifs, treasure hunts... Information on request.

Nicknamed the Kirsch Valley, the Val de Villé is a high place of distillation. Héritière, the Héritière of this ancestral know-how, is home to the premises of the Legoll Company, a distillery seeking to perpetuate tradition, producing quality spirits thanks to the care of the fruits used. In a picturesque décor made of huge copper vats and stills, there are classic productions as well as special vintages, aged years in des casks or flasks. Among these, a council, taste the one that contributes to the best reputation of the house: wild raspberry: a pure treat! But also late grape grapes, quetsches, kirschs… The house also offers some 80 jams - and jellies - cooked to old in copper tanks, without any colours or preservatives.

Michel Goettelmann has been running this 9-hectare family estate between Châtenois and Scherwiller for over 30 years now. It's with a smile and a passion that he tells visitors about the history of the estate, and details the production and history of his wines in the family cellar. On the tasting side, his wines are harmonious and well-balanced, like the dry, fruity Riesling, the floral Pinot Gris cuvée Hélène or the aromatic, well-rounded Gewurztraminer lieu dit Hahnenberg. Great discoveries!
