The vineyard

Located north of Riquewihr, the Grand Cru Schoenenbourg extends over an altitude ranging from 265 to 380 meters. This exceptional terroir of the Alsace Grand Cru appellation benefits from a complex soil composed of dolomitic marls, siliceous pebbles, Vosges sandstone and limestone marls, giving the wine remarkable minerality and complexity.
