RENÉ ET MICHEL KOCH
Run by the Koch family for many generations, this estate extends over 12 hectares of vines, mainly on the slopes of the commune of Nothalten. All the plots are located in a circle of 4 to 5 km around the house. The estate owns vines on the Grand Cru Muenchberg and the Heissenberg area. René and his son Michel (a graduate in viticulture-oenology) are now in charge of the estate. The differences in terroir allow them to make strategic choices for the implantation of the grape varieties, all grown with respect for the environment. Several ranges of wines are on offer: traditional wines (notably the sylvaner lieu dit Zellberg 2017, selection Guide Hachette des Vins 2020 and the pinot noir 2015 W-H, coup de coeur*** Guide Hachette des Vins 2019), Grand Cru Muenchberg (riesling and pinot gris), prestige wines (gewurztraminer Vieilles Vignes Cuvée Zoé, riesling Grand Cru Muenchberg Vendange Tardive Le Jardin de Lucie....), and crémant Brut Blanc (a blend of chardonnay and auxerrois) or rosé (100% pinot noir). The Koch family also distills excellent artisanal eaux-de-vie. If you would like to prolong the pleasure of your visit to the estate, you can stay in a pretty independent house perfectly equipped to accommodate up to 6 people in total comfort.
