“A fresh nose of vine peach and spices blends with floral notes of daisy and citron, followed by a finish of black pepper. The palate offers peppery white fruit, leading to a short but mouthwatering finish.” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2016 - Gault Millau)

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 2*Stars (These truly great estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that—thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines—belong in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
The perfectionist Jean-Christophe Bott is one of Alsace’s leading winemakers. He is dedicated to meticulous work both in the cellar and in the vineyard, which is cultivated using biodynamic methods. While it comprised just 4 hectares when it was founded in 1953, the estate now owns 15 hectares, spread across seven municipalities. The wines here are full-bodied and smooth, with their richness well-balanced and without the slightest hint of heaviness—particularly in the Pinot Gris wines, which are definitely worth rediscovering. Each cuvée possesses both power and a long finish—two qualities that contribute to their fullness. To top it all off, the estate offers older vintages for sale and has recently begun renting out vacation cottages.
