Anecdotes about the domain
To be a winegrower is above all to live his land. Cultivating the vine and producing a great wine are two activities that are as exciting as they are complementary. Very attached to our terroir, we do everything possible to ensure that its richness and uniqueness are expressed in our wines. To do this, we pamper each vine and our grapes are picked by hand. Since great wines are made in the vineyard, we pay particular attention to the work in the vineyard and to the life in the soil. Once the grapes are pressed, our interventions in the cellar are limited to the strict minimum.
The domain's short story
This is the story of an estate that has undergone many changes ... Philippe Zinck was just 22 years old when he took over the reins of the estate in 1997. He had finished his wine studies and returned from Australia, enriched by a 6-month experience at Leeuwin Estate, Margaret River. Created by his father in 1964, the estate covers an area of 8 hectares in the commune of Eguisheim. He undertook the extension of the estate, revised the range of wines and launched the production of Grands Crus and Crémants. Pascale joined him in 2007. Together they manage the estate, orienting it towards organic farming practices and affirming their personalities in the wines.
The winemaker's pride
The family estate is located on the gently sloping slopes of Eguisheim and Gueberschwihr, a few kilometres south of Colmar, whose soils are predominantly clay and limestone. They practice an uncertified organic cultivation on the vineyard.
