Wines and spirits Ribeauvillé

Since 2014, Jean-Guillaume has run this 25-hectare family estate in the company of his oenologist wife, Céline. Working the soil is paramount for him, who is keen to develop his wines, which have been certified organic since 2021. The estate's terroirs - Grands Crus Kirchberg, Altenbgerg and Grossberg - are highlighted by wines of undeniable quality. Try the Pinot Noir Osmose, aged 12 months in oak barrels, with its lightly woody nose and silky mouthfeel, or the Pinot Gris Clos Ribeaupierre, with its fine, mineral nose and rich, fresh mouthfeel.

Founded in 1895, it is France's leading winegrowing cooperative, and one of Alsace's finest! It groups together 40 winegrowers: 8 lieux-dits, 8 Grands Crus and 235 ha certified HVE3. The Cave de Ribeauvillé offers 80 wines, including the Riesling Grand Cru Kirchberg de Ribeauvillé 2018 (93/100 Wine Enthusiast). Tasting cellar, exhibition room, barrel room (over a hundred years old!), vineyard museum, oenotheque - everything here is designed to ensure a complete and enriching visit. Children will enjoy the indoor play area.

Here, it's above all a family affair, first between father and son, then between cousins. Since 1626, 13 generations have perpetuated this estate with passion. Pierre Trimbach, president of the Grandes Maisons d'Alsace, is ranked among the world's top 10 white winemakers. His reputation is built on the unquestionable quality of his aromatic, dry wines for laying down. The house offers 5 ranges: Classiques, Reserve wines, Réserve Personnelle, Rieslings & Grands Crus, Vendanges Tardives. A tasting is a must!

Voted Best Fruit Brandy Distillery in the world by the Revue du Vin de France in 2018, this family-run distillery has been perpetuating its passion for a job well done, and the subtle art of bringing to light (and bottling) the aromas and typicity of Alsatian fruit, for 3 generations. Apricot, elderberry, raspberry, mirabelle plum, quince, morello cherry and alisier await you in bottles of eaux-de-vie and liqueurs, to be tasted directly at the distillery, in the company of Michel Windholtz.

Sébastien waited until he was 33 years old to create his 3.2 ha estate: Le Clos Liebau. Designed as a wild garden, it is certified AB, the vines are cultivated in permaculture, without using sulfur or copper. You will find wild trees and chickens installed in the middle of the vines to sanitize the plots. Other animals are in the vineyard and on request, your children can greet them! Sébastien produces cuvées that are not lacking in character such as the Soley Kouché, a blend of maceration with a fruity nose and a sparkling mouthfeel.
