Domaine Paul Blanck
ドメーヌ・ポール・ブランク
Family-run Alsace estate mastering five Grand Crus with organic precision.
Domaine Paul Blanck is a family estate based in Kientzheim, Alsace, with roots in the region dating to the late 16th century and vine-growing in Kientzheim since the early 19th century. Now farming roughly 35-36 hectares certified organic, the estate holds parcels across five Grand Cru sites — Schlossberg, Furstentum, Wineck-Schlossberg, Sommerberg, and Mambourg — plus several lieux-dits. Paul Blanck was among the winegrowers who championed Schlossberg as a pilot site in 1927, a push that helped it become Alsace's first officially recognized Grand Cru in 1975. Frédéric and Philippe Blanck, grandsons of Paul, have run the domaine since the mid-1980s, favoring minimal intervention, manual harvesting, and grass cover between the rows so that each terroir — from the granite-based Schlossberg to the richer, south-facing Furstentum — speaks clearly in the glass.
