Preserving a Legacy in Alsace

One of the Village’s Oldest Winegrowing Families In Alsace, in northeastern France near the German border, the Vosges Mountains block rain clouds from the west, creating one of the driest and sunniest climates in the country. In the small village of Ammerschwihr, the Heitzmann family has been quietly growing grapes since 1804. The vineyard has been passed down through seven generations, and today the estate is guided by Laurence Heitzmann. Across roughly 12 hectares, the family cultivates nine grape varieties, including Riesling and Gewürztraminer. They also hold precious parcels in two of Alsace’s 51 Grand Crus: Kaefferkopf and Schlossberg. With only 51 Grand Cru sites in all of Alsace, it is a rare distinction for a family-run domaine to steward land in two of them.

BORDEAUX

CHÂTEAU LA GROLET Origines 2022

One violent storm on the Gironde's right bank changed how this family estate has farmed ever since — the year after, chemical treatments stopped for good. Origines carries that shift forward as a merlot-led Côtes de Bourg red, its structure built mainly through patient vinification in concrete tanks rather than new oak.

BORDEAUX

CHÂTEAU LA GROLET Tête de Cuvée

Grown where two winemaking families finally met across the Gironde, this is Château La Grolet's most concentrated expression — the fruit of its oldest vines and the barrels judged worthy of the name Tête de Cuvée.

Domaine Héritage du Pic Saint Loup

The Story of a Winery That Lost Its Name

Yet Reclaimed an 800-Year-Old Legacy A Name Preserved in 13th-Century Manuscripts In the Languedoc region of southern France, about 20 kilometers north of Montpellier, the 658-meter Pic Saint-Loup rises into view. At its foot, the Ravaille family has been growing grapes since at least the 13th century. They grazed sheep, made cheese, and worked the land. […]

Elevating Burgundy’s “Forgotten Grape”

A Half-Century of Dedication to a Unique Village AOC The White Grape Long Overshadowed by Chardonnay When people think of white Burgundy, Chardonnay is what usually comes to mind. Meursault, Chablis, Puligny-Montrachet—each is a celebrated wine born from Chardonnay. But Burgundy has another white grape variety: Aligoté. For a long time, Aligoté was treated as a […]

Beyond the 2021 Late Frost

The Resilience of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s Old Vines A Southern Rhône Legacy Since 1826 Châteauneuf-du-Pape stretches across the southern bank of the Rhône River in southern France. The Jaume family’s history of grape growing here began in 1826, when Mathieu Jaume first established vineyards on this land. For nearly two centuries, six generations of the family have continued […]

Château des Annereaux – AOC Lalande de Pomerol

Six Centuries of Legacy

Since the Annereau family first graced this land in 1390, the art of winemaking has been preserved through the same lineage for […]

Memories of a Monastery, A Love Letter to a Daughter

800 Years of Domaine Gruhier’s “Cuvée Juliette” In the village of Épineuil in the Yonne, northern Burgundy, the landscape unveils a serene, contemplative elegance—strikingly distinct from the glamorous hills of the Côte d’Or. There, a monastery that has witnessed the passage of eight centuries still stands in graceful silence. In 1212, Cistercian monks established the […]

Domaine DECELLE

A Third Masterpiece, Toward Burgundy

Domaine Decelle & Fils Paints a Portrait of Chambolle-Musigny In the world of French wine, there’s an unspoken rule: earn renown in one region, and that should be enough. But Olivier Decelle has transcended this convention—twice. In the southern Roussillon, he took the reins of Mas Amiel, a storied name in fortified wines. In Saint-Émilion, […]
