Dear Lovers of Alsace wines

The long-awaited return!

After a two-year absence, Muscat and Pinot Noir Rosé are back on our menu! Two wines full of character, designed to accompany your sunny moments.

Pinot Noir [Kritt] is a new cuvée presented for the first time with the 2022 vintage. Coming from a massal selection plot originating in Burgundy, this Pinot Noir was deliberately planted closer to the ground to promote optimal ripening.

During the harvest

The grapes were carefully hand-picked into 40-kg perforated baskets to preserve the integrity of the berries until they reached the winery.
For vinification, we opted for whole-bunch maceration, made possible by the exceptional quality of the vintage.
We also created a “mille-feuille” of whole-bunch and destemmed grapes, achieving a subtle balance between freshness, structure, and complexity.

The prolonged exchange between the solid parts and the juice has offered a finer texture and increased elegance. To reveal the full potential of this cuvée, we aged it for two winters in 500 L barrels and demi-muids, to further refine the mouthfeel, for a silky grain and additional depth.

– Come and enjoy them in our tasting cellar, or order them by shipment.

About us

Like many Alsatian wineries, the Justin Boxler estate perpetuates a family tradition passed down from father to son. It was in 1957 that the most significant developments shaped the estate as it is today.

The first bottling was initiated by Justin Boxler, marking a decisive turning point in the family’s history. Later, Anne and Pierre took over and breathed new life into the business, both technically and commercially. Their move to an EARL (small-scale limited liability company) allowed for the expansion of the estate and led to a phase of modernization: new cellar, new winery, new farming practices, and a redesigned visual identity.

This momentum is now carried by the new generation, with continuity and a renewed vision.

Among the recent developments: the estate’s first Crémants were produced in 2020, and a new whole-harvest vinification approach for Pinot Noir was tested from 2022.

One of the founding acts of this transition was also the commitment to converting to organic farming in 2019. This approach culminated in the 2022 vintage, the first vintage officially certified AB (Organic Agriculture).
