Wines of a place
The Origines wines are the testimony of the expression of a place in its most singular way, transcribed in the bottle with the sole influence of the Alsatian micro-climate.
Selection of different predominantly granitic and marl-limestone plots on the steep and sunny terroirs of Niedermorschwihr, Katzenthal, Turckheim and Ingersheim.
Harvested by hand, gentle pressing for six hours to preserve the aromatics of the grapes. Natural fermentation in hundred-year-old oak barrels. Aging on fine lees for one winter before bottling in the summer.
Riesling lieu-dit Pfoeller 2022
This bottle bears witness to the expression of the Lieu-dit Pfoeller with the sole influence of the Alsatian microclimate.
Located on a zone of faults, this clay-limestone soil is composed of Muschelkalk to the west and Bajocien to the east and overlooks the town of Ingersheim.
This wine is made up of several plots, the “Erdhauser” planted in 1976 and the “Redhauser” planted in 1992.
Harvested manually, the grapes ferment naturally thanks to indigenous yeasts. Aging on lees takes place for almost a year in century-old oak barrels.
Pinot Gris Cuvée de l'Ange 2023
Iconic cuvée of the Justin Boxler family.
Grapes from the most beautiful plots of the estate on granitic grounds.
Wine of gluttony and pleasure.
Wines are ready to drink within 10 years of bottling.
Its colour is a sustained yellow.
On the nose it is toasted with aromas of white flowers.
The attack is ample with a nice freshness.

Gewurztraminer Soixante-cinq 2022
This is the oldest plot of our vineyard planted in 1965.
These feet of Gewurztraminer perfectly resist the years and the various hazards.
Its deep rooting gives this wine a concentration of aromatic interesting. 2019, a cooler year, marks all the more this balance between freshness and the delicacy of the grape variety.
Harvested by hand, the grapes are gently pressed for 6 hours to preserve their aromas. Vinification is done by gravity and aging on fine lees in hundred-year-old oak barrels before bottling in the summer.
Different plots of Pinot Noir on several granitic terrains, in particular on the Grand Cru Brand.
This wine is made between our free-run juice and press juice following a ten-day maceration.
The malolactic fermentation takes place in Burgundy barrels.
The contribution of wood is reasoned and our barrels come from different Burgundian coopers.
