Alsace, Domaine Pierre Henri Ginglinger, Riesling, Aoc Alsace Grand Cru Eichberg, Blanc
Established in the old town of Eguisheim, south of Colmar, this family estate whose origins date back to 1610 is located in a house dating back to 1684. Mathieu Ginglinger, who succeeded his father Pierre-Henri in 2003, runs the estate organically (certified in 2004). After acquiring vineyards at the southern end of the Route des Vins, he now has 15 ha, with parcels in 3 grands crus.
Presentation
Bordering the edges of the municipality of Eguisheim, the locality of Eichberg Grand Cru faces the south-east at an altitude between 220 and 340m. This wine-growing area, at the foot of three castles, is sheltered by the foothills of the Vosges and boasts a particularly dry and warm microclimate, as the amount of rain registered is currently the lowest in the region of Colmar.
