STORY BEHIND THE WINE

A document from the early 16th century mentions the appointment of a certain Thiébaut Gresser, a winegrower by trade, as the Provost of the town of Andlau. This means that wine has been in the family for nearly 5 centuries – it has even become an unchanging tradition.

Today, Rémy Gresser cultivates a little over 10 hectares around Andlau on beautiful schist, sand, and clay terroirs. His plots are located in the three Grand Crus of the commune: Kastelberg, Wiebelsberg, and Moenchberg.

Having been at the head of the estate since 1977, Rémy Gresser sums himself up in one short sentence: “I cultivate the vine according to the rule of our ancestors; I feel like a farmer and artisan of the vine.” His wines, always well-rated by critics, elegantly illustrate this winegrower’s passion for Alsace and its terroirs.

This wine comes from 23-year-old vines planted on a unique blend of “Villé’s” schist and limestone soil, with an eastern exposure. The vineyard is farmed using biodynamic practices that incorporate compost, organic manure, and plowing. The grapes were hand-harvested at their peak ripeness. After a gentle pneumatic pressing, the juice was cold-settled for 36 hours. Fermentation took place with indigenous yeasts, and the wine was then aged on its fine lees in oak barrels.
