Since taking over the family domaine in 2000, Agathe has garnered a reputation as one of Alsace’s “comets in the sky”. The vines are located around the village of Westhalten in the south of the Alsace region. Around one third of Agathe’s vines are in the Grand Cru of Zinnkoepflé - reaching up to be Alsace’s highest peak at 420m. This land is tied to Agathe’s early childhood, tasting with her grandmother and grandfather and she works this terroir by hand and by heart - organic principles and herbal and biodynamic preparations all contributing to the health and vigour of the vines. Production for the 5ha estate, although limited in number of bottles, covers all the noble varieties and styles of the regions and wonderfully exhibits the profound textural weight and verve of the region. Quantities are small and demand is high making the wines sell out fast.
