RVF
“The perfect accompaniment to an aperitif”
This trio of Pinot wines (Gris, Blanc, and d'Aunis) is a metaphor for the apocryphal motto of Dumas père’s Three Musketeers, with each variety contributing its own unique touches and qualities to create a truly exceptional blend bursting with floral and white fruit notes and a delicate minerality, reflecting the six distinct terroirs blended together. Perfect with sushi!

Rated estate (2020 guide): 4 stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
André Ostertag is one of the region’s most endearing winemakers. A staunch advocate of biodynamics who is constantly re-evaluating his winemaking practices, he tends his beautiful vineyards on the Fronholz and the Muenchberg Grand Cru with the utmost care. The range is a delight from start to finish, as the estate is one of the very best specialists in Pinot Gris, which he produces with a success rarely seen in Alsace, notably the splendid Muenchberg A360P cuvée, whose curious name comes from the parcel’s cadastral designation… Arthur, André’s son, returned to the estate in 2016 and vinified the 2017 vintage with his father before taking the reins alone in 2018, as André stepped back a bit. The new Les-Jardins range now replaces the previous Barriques and Cuvée-d’Epfig ranges and encompasses all grape varieties.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 91/100 (2022 vintage)
Rated estate (2022 guide) 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience)
About the estate:
2018 marked a turning point for the estate with Arthur, André Ostertag’s son, taking the reins. With a sensitivity to white wines as keen as his father’s, he began making his mark as early as 2016 and is injecting new energy into the estate, with a revamped team that will gradually take shape. The family cultivates beautiful plots in the Zellberg and Fronholz terroirs, on the Muenchberg Grand Cru, not to mention Clos Mathis on the Hagel in Ribeauvillé. Any Alsace enthusiast should know this estate, whose wines offer great pleasure. The aging potential of all the vintages is undeniable, yet the fruit remains immediately accessible in the Jardins range, for example. This is the result of twenty years of biodynamic vineyard management, complemented by consistently precise and pure winemaking.
