"What balance!"
“With notes of candied citrus and the sea, the lively Moenchberg is rich in total solids.” (Le Guide de la RVF 2026). Bottle aging has added roundness to all this energy, making it a perfect pairing for a mushroom risotto.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 94/100
Rated 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though a bit more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Upon returning to the family estate in 2017, Pierre Wach chose to rename it after himself, replacing the former name, Domaine des Marronniers. He converted the vineyards to organic farming and, most importantly, evolved the style of the wines. His father, Guy, had a preference for sweeter wines, which didn’t always win us over in the past. A change of era, a generational shift—this year’s tasting has won us over!

Rated Estate: Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
Guy Wach, who settled in Andlau in 1976—a historic wine-growing town nestled along a narrow valley—is the heir to a lineage dating back to 1748 of coopers and, later, winemakers. In 2017, he passed the family estate (8 ha) on to his son Pierre; it includes plots in the town’s three grands crus, which are well-suited to Riesling. The estate’s approach, already largely organic, should allow for the property’s conversion to organic farming in the near future.

About the wine:
With notes of candied citrus and the sea, the lively Moenchberg is rich in dry matter.
About the estate:
Pierre Wach has represented the new generation at the helm of the family estate since 2015. He first initiated changes in the vineyard—with Ecocert organic certification taking effect starting with the 2022 vintage—and then in the cellar, launching trials of sulfur-free Pinot Noir without deviance. A new momentum has been established, but a few minor adjustments are needed in the cellar to preserve the full precision and freshness of the flavors.
