Domaine Bott-Geyl
ドメーヌ・ボット・ゲイル
Master of biodynamic Alsatian wines with exceptional Grand Cru terroir expression.
Founded in 1795 and based in the village of Beblenheim in Alsace, Domaine Bott-Geyl has been run since 1993 by Jean-Christophe Bott. The estate converted its roughly 14 hectares of vineyards to organic farming in 2000 and to biodynamic viticulture in 2002, cultivating parcels across six Grand Cru sites — Sonnenglanz, Schoenenbourg, Sporen, Mandelberg, Furstentum, and Schlossberg. Jean-Christophe practices minimal-intervention winemaking with hand harvesting, indigenous yeasts, and extended pressing times to capture the precise character of each terroir. The estate has been repeatedly recognized among France's top white wine producers, and its wines are imported into Japan (notably by Vin Passion) and widely available through retailers such as IMADEYA.
