"A very recent family heritage that Fridolin, Anny & Théo, Benoît have bequeathed to me, where work well done, rigor and evolution are the key words. "
Our Domain is located in Nothalten, a small village in the heart of Alsace on the Wine Route, halfway between the Haut-Koenigsbourg and the Mont Sainte Odile.
Arnaud, who has been the winemaker since 2002, manages the 24 hectares of vines. He is assisted by his wife Sophie who takes care of the commercial part.
The vineyard is made up of the 7 Alsatian grape varieties:
Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Noir, Muscat, Pinot Blanc and Sylvaner.
We exploit about 80 plots of land, including several in the Appellation Alsace Grand Cru MUENCHBERG and Alsace Grand Cru MOENCHBERG.
We put all our energy and experience of winegrower in the work of the ground and the vine because we consider that to produce a great wine, it is necessary above all to take care of the vine.
Like a child whom we see grow and blossom, we pamper our vines so that they can provide quality grapes that fully express the terroir in which they have matured.

"I have been on the estate since 2002; it is my turn to be the guarantor of this transmission, this family heritage, where the winemaker who passes, leaves his little trace, year after year.
My team is also important because it has a great experience and a recognized know-how. Each member brings his stone to the edifice every day; everyone participates in the construction, the future and the reputation of the Domaine. "

The work of the vineyard is of reasoned way; our philosophy being to be in the respect of the ground and the Human one.
We have our own specifications that reconcile three main axes:
*Sustainable and ecologically responsible viticulture
*Human & Environment
*Constant quality of the wines, elaborated as naturally as possible, by letting nature do its work.
We protect our vines only when necessary, always with a benevolent eye on our environment and ourselves.
Our plots are grassed as soon as the young vines are planted; the grass that grows between the rows is then rolled and laid to the ground during the summer season, thanks to a Rolofaca attached to the back of the tractor.
The advantage of this ecological and economical technique (because the roller follows the relief of the soil without any energy demand) is to realize an insulating mulch for the soil, which will keep a certain humidity and freshness during the very hot summers that we know in our region.
This is to guarantee a small amount of water necessary for the development of young vines.

Our wines come from privileged soils where the geology, the climate and the exposure form an exceptional combination.
Our vineyard is made up of about 80 parcels, very diverse in terms of surface area, soil, subsoil, slope and exposure.
The parcels are spread over 4 communes: Nothalten, Epfig, Itterswiller and Eichhoffen, within a radius of a few kilometers.
Our wines come from privileged soils where the geology, the climate and the exposure form an exceptional agreement.
1. Grand Cru Muenchberg
2. Lieu-dit Zellberg
3. Grand Cru Moenchberg
4. Fronholz
5. Geissenberg
6. Heissenberg
7. Heissenstein
Our parcels are mainly planted with noble grape varieties, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Pinot Noir. Our rich and diversified parcels of land help many grape varieties to blossom, which is fully expressed in our wines.

Our wines are born from this alchemy which unites the Air, the Earth, the Vine and the Art of Men.
Our Domain produces all the Alsatian grape varieties: Sylvaner, Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Muscat, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Noir, as well as Chardonnay for the elaboration of Crémant d'Alsace.
Our wines come from privileged terroirs where the geology, the climate and the exposure form an exceptional combination.
The yields are controlled to allow a better expression of the terroirs; expressions also obtained by the indigenous yeasts present in their natural state, in order to let our wines ferment in the purest tradition.
