The Story

While Alsace built its reputation on white wines, medieval abbey records and church tithes reveal that red wine production was once substantial. Pinot Noir held a prominent place among the 40 varietals in use. Production mysteriously declined after the 16th century, surviving only in select Alsatian villages like Ottrott, Saint Léonard, Boersch, Saint Hippolyte, Rodern, and Marlenheim. What many view as a modern trend is actually a revival of centuries-old tradition, now experiencing renewed popularity.
