Domaine Jean Boesch et Petit-Fils
ドメーヌ・ジャン・ベッシュ・エ・プティ・フィス
13 generations of Alsatian winemaking beneath Zinnkoepflé
Founded in 1962 by Jean Boesch in the village of Soultzmatt, at the foot of the Zinnkoepflé grand cru in Alsace's Vallée Noble, this family domain represents the 13th generation of a local winemaking lineage. Jean's grandson Denis has run the estate since 2002, tending roughly 9 hectares of vines that are entirely hand-harvested, with grapes pressed whole-cluster to preserve their aromatic purity. The range spans the classic Alsatian varietals — Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Sylvaner, and Pinot Noir — alongside Crémant d'Alsace and eaux-de-vie, with a particular specialty in late-harvest (vendanges tardives) Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer that have been repeatedly cited in the Guide Hachette des Vins.
