The traditional winery is located in the community of Béblenheim in the French region of Alsace. It was already founded in 1795 by Jean-Martin Geyl. Since 1993, the winery has been managed by Jean-Christophe Bott, who has gained practical experience in wineries in France, Germany and the New World. The vineyards cover 20 hectares at an altitude of 220 to 270 metres above sea level. They are spread over a total of 80 plots in seven municipalities. These are the Alsace Grand Cru sites Furstentum, Mandelberg, Schlossberg, Schoenenbourg, Sonnenglanz and Sporen, as well as the Lieux dits Burgreben, Clos des Trois Chemins, Grafenreben, Kronenbourg and Schloesselreben. The white wine varieties Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Muscat Blanc, Riesling and Chasselas, as well as the red wine variety Pinot Noir are cultivated.
The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
