At the turn of the year 2000, the Westhalten cellar and the Heim House became part of the Bennwihr cellar. It is from this happy merger that the name Bestheim was born, synonymous with terroirs rich in famous vintages and an association of complementary know-how! Today, the site is dedicated to the development and production of crémants. Just the return of things since the Westhalten cellar was one of the instigators of the Crémant d'Alsace appellation! Do not hesitate to take a tour of the website to place your orders in complete safety.

Converted for a long time to organic farming (1970) and biodynamic farming (Demeter, 1981), this estate has been awarded a star by the Guide des meilleurs vins de France 2021!

The history of the Humbrecht family dates back to around 1620. Established in Pfaffenheim since 1900, they work the vines according to the rules of organic and biodynamic agriculture. They plough with draught horses and use sheep. They also encourage the spread of flowers and plants for pollinators, and install nesting boxes for birds. The Paul Humbrecht estate produces exceptional wines, depending on the vintage, as well as liqueurs and eaux-de-vie that combine quality with very competitive prices.

If the Cave des Vignerons de Pfaffenheim is considered to be one of Alsace's highest quality wineries, it's thanks to a guiding principle that it has followed since 1955: favoring the terroir's imprint and encouraging good vineyard practices (integrated pest management, grassing, green harvesting...). This is where the grapes from the various grands crus, the flagship wines of the estate, are vinified. Cellar visits followed by tastings are scheduled every week.

The Maison Bentheim boutique presents wines from the best terroirs of the region. During your visit, you can discover the Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg 2019 (gold medal at the Berliner Wine Trophy) and the Crémant Grand Prestige 2015 (2 stars in the Guide Hachette des Vins).
