Jean-Baptiste Adam

TheJean-Baptiste Adam estate,a family of Alsatian winegrowers from father to son since 1614, is now in its 14th generation and is a benchmark in Ammerschwihr.  Imbued with this rich heritage and expertise, the new generation continues to work in accordance with the traditions of the Alsace appellation, while remaining in tune with modern times and today's challenges. In 2003, the estate was given a new lease of life with the transition to biodynamic viticulture and the modernization of the cellars and wine cellar. 

The pride ofMaison Jean-Baptiste Adam liesin the little-known Kaefferkopf d'Ammerschwihr, renowned since the Middle Ages and recognized as an Alsace Grand Cru in 2007. This 71-hectare terroir, perfectly sun-kissed south of Ammerschwihr, consists of several hills in the Vosges mountains at an altitude of 240 to 320 meters. The wines produced here are both distinguished and extremely refined. 

This terroir, so dear toDomaine Jean-Baptiste Adamand the family, is available in three vintages: Riesling Grand Cru Kaefferkopf, Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Kaefferkopf, and Kaefferkopf "Cuvée Traditionnelle."

Two other terroirs are also highlighted byDomaine J.B. Adam:Grand Cru Wineck SchlossbergandLetzenberg. Most of the production consists of white wines made from traditional Alsatian grape varieties: Sylvaner, Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Muscat, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, and the famous Pinot Noir for red wine production.
