The Braun family has been growing and tending vines in Alsace since the late 1500’s and solidified a geographic footprint in 1902 with the purchase of property in Orschwihr, located in the southeast of the region. It has stayed in the family since, growing to 44 acres of over 30 plots of vines, some areas producing wine since the 1200’s. Today, Camille’s son and wife, Christophe and Chantal run the estate, maintaining the certifications of organic farming and biodynamic production, with a real focus on the terroir as a whole and not just how it pertains to the grapes. Aging occurs in stainless steel tanks, on the lees 18-24 months.
White, spring blossoms and pie crust are found as you nose into the glass. These notes continue to the palate with a twist of lemon and a fine, steady stream of bubbles.
