DOMAINE DU PETIT POUCET
Go there and contact
The Domaine du Petit Poucet proudly displays its particularity: it is the smallest estate in Alsace! It is after having finished with his other job that Gérard Blaess, an enthusiastic and passionate winemaker, takes care of his 50 ares of vines, which he vinifies in the basement of his house. An ardent defender of organic viticulture, for him good wine is made in the vineyard. His plots of land are in Marlenheim, on clayey-limestone soil, and in Wangen, on sandstone soil. The harvest is of course manual; the whole grapes are pressed and only indigenous yeasts are used. The wines benefit from maturing on fine lees; the estate avoids unnecessary racking and practises minimal sulphiting. For organic wines, Domaine du Petit Poucet offers a Sylvaner Vieilles Vignes 2015, a Riesling 2015, a Gewurztraminer "Coccinelle" 2016 and a Pinot Gris Sélection de Grains Nobles 2015. On the Nature side, the Auxerrois "Sans pour Cent" 2017 and "Les Nuances de Pinot" 2017 are in great demand. These are wines of very good quality produced in limited quantities.
