The estate is located in Andlau, Alsace, halfway between Strasbourg and Colmar, in the Piedmont region of the Vosges. Nestled at the foot of the mountains, the vineyard benefits from a continental climate and shares a mosaic of completely opposite soils in their geology: pink sandstone of the Vosges (gc Wiebelsberg), black schist (gc Kastelberg), blue schist (Clos du Val d 'Eleon and Clos Rebberg), and marno-calcaro-sandstone (GC Moenchberg). Marc Kreydenweiss has passed on his passion for wine, terroirs and biodynamics to his children. Antoine Kreydenweiss took over the reins of the Alsatian vineyard in 2007, accompanied by Charlotte, their daughters Zoe, Lilou and Leonie, from the team and his Chevalier Comtois. Together they display the same passion: produce wines with a personality by highlighting the soul of each of its soils. The Estate comprises 13.5 hectares of vines, including the 3 Grand Crus of Andlau: Wiebelsberg, Moenchberg and Kastelberg. Another great vintage: Barr's Kirchberg joined the diverse panel of the estate. The vinification is carried out in the most natural way, respecting the balance of each wine. Each year, some 120,000 bottles are produced. The reputation of the field is worldwide, present in Japan, United States, Norway, throughout Europe and of course in France. The winemaker uses each year a different artist to illustrate the labels. By uniting the creativity of the artist and the know-how of the winemaker, each bottle is transformed into a unique piece. The biodynamics applied since 1989 is an integral part of the estate's activities.
