2024 Harvest
After the hot, dry vintages of 2022 and 2023, the weather gods brought us a cool, rainy 2024 season. Continuous rain in spring and summer led to a fierce and intense battle against mildew. After a relatively sunny and warm August, the harvest was looking very promising, with a great vintage just around the corner.
However, a final battle against a wet September was necessary. Despite the tough weather conditions, we were able to extend the harvest for over a month in order to obtain the ripest grapes possible. As every year, the team of pickers worked tirelessly to select only the best bunches.
With all fermentations basically finished, it’s time to taste the first young wines. We are pleasantly surprised to be tasting wines with exceptional potential after a year with more than one major challenge. We’re looking at a style in keeping with the wines produced 40 years ago under the climatic conditions of the time. The quantities obtained are more than reasonable and we’re very much satisfied with this year’s harvest!
3 Stars in the Guide de la Revue du Vin de France ★★★
In its new guide of the Best Wines of France 2025, the Revue du Vin de France has awarded us a third star. This distinction rewards our daily commitment and testifies to the constant progress of our domaine.
This is also a tribute to Jean-Pierre Dirler, who has devoted his life to the terroirs of the Guebwiller area. We would like to express our deep gratitude to him for his precious legacy.
A big thank you to our team and to those who have accompanied us on our journey.
October - November 2023
After the harvest, plowing work was disrupted due to heavy rainfall, 250 mm had fallen between October 13th and November 17th, 2023, an unprecedented amount. We are awaiting the leaf fall and sap descent to begin Guyot Poussard pruning in December.
Fermentations are ongoing in the cellar, and we closely monitor the vinifications by tasting the juices. Rackings are underway for the wines that have found their balance.
2023 Harvest
The 2023 vintage was marked by a deficit in precipitation during two relatively long periods in January-February and May-June. Temperatures were particularly high in June and early July, as well as from the second half of August. Fortunately, significant rainfall occurred in early August, revitalizing the plants and causing the grape berries to swell. The harvest took place under a beautiful sun, often very warm.
As every year, the harvest team conducted meticulous selection work, retaining only the finest grapes. The effort was consistent, as the harvest extended over a period of five weeks, from September 5th until October 12th, 2023. The outcome was a high-quality, generous harvest that we are very pleased with.
