One of the Alsace (Haut-Rhin) sites classified as Grand Cru within the Alsace Grand Cru appellation. It was already mentioned in the Middle Ages and was then owned by the monasteries of Saint Catherine of Colmar and Silo of Sélestat. The vineyards cover 23 hectares of slate and sandstone in the two communes of Rodern and Saint Hippolyte. They are mainly planted with the Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer varieties. Well-known producers are Charles Koehly and CV Ribeauvillé.
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
