The Boesch family have been making wine for generations – eleven to be precise – and have been amassing quality vineyards since 1640.
The result is 13 hectares of remarkable terroir managed by Gérard Boesch and his son Mathieu. Both father and son have been practising organic viticulture since 2000 and only use indigenous yeasts.
The wines are aged on the lees until the summer following the harvest to give plenty of texture to the wines.
Ploughing, natural treatments, and the vines are fertilized with compost produced on the estate. The harvest, is carried out exclusively by hand, and fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in oak casks
