Domaine Gustave Lorentz
ドメーヌ・ギュスターヴ・ロレンツ
Bergheim's Grand Cru specialist since 1836, organic-certified since 2012.
Founded in 1836 in the historic village of Bergheim, Domaine Gustave Lorentz is a family-owned estate now led by sixth-generation winemaker Georges Lorentz. The estate farms 33 hectares on the hillsides of Bergheim, including 12.8 hectares of the Grand Cru Altenberg de Bergheim and 1.75 hectares of the Grand Cru Kanzlerberg — both classified as Grand Cru in 1983. Since converting to organic viticulture in 2009, all estate vineyards have been Ecocert-certified organic since the 2012 vintage. In 2015 the family invested six million euros in a modern winery while retaining the centuries-old wooden foundation vats used for fermenting and aging its top cuvées. The house is best known for terroir-driven Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewürztraminer from Altenberg de Bergheim, prized for their precision, minerality, and ageing potential.
