One of the Alsace (Haut-Rhin) sites classified as Grand Cru within the Alsace Grand Cru appellation. The "Estate of Beno" (Bennwihr) has been documented since 777. The vineyards cover 54 hectares of vines on limestone marl soil in the two communes of Bennwihr and Sigolsheim. They are mainly planted with Gewürztraminer and some Pinot Gris. René Barth and Les Caves de Bennwihr are well-known producers.
The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
