DOMAINE MERSIOL
Managed by the brothers Stéphane and Christophe Mersiol, this superb estate covers a little over 12 hectares, including 3.5 hectares classified as Grand Cru Frankstein. This particularly granitic terroir produces delicate wines, focused on finesse and minerality. The estate practices organic viticulture and is constantly innovating to favour the natural balance in the vines and the wines: draught horses help to work the soil and fertilize it, sheep graze between the vines in winter. In addition, the year 2015 was marked by the purchase of 10 oak tuns designed to promote micro-oxygenation of the wines. The Mersiols produce all the Alsatian grape varieties in the Tradition range, Pinots Gris, Rieslings and Gewurztraminers from the Grand Cru Frankstein (Terroir range), as well as the totally irresistible Vendanges Tardives and Sélections de Grains Nobles (Prestige range), not forgetting the Crémants d'Alsace. From April to September, horse-drawn carriage rides are scheduled through the vineyard, with a tasting session in the estate's cellar as a highlight.
