They still work the vineyards as their forefathers did, to get the best out of them. The grapes, from different slopes and soils spread over six villages, are vinified separately, without air contact. That way each wine can fully express the character of its soil. Altenbourg, Grafreben, Patergarten, Rosenbourg and the Grands Crus Schlossberg, Furstentum, Mambourg, Sommerberg and Wineck-Schlossberg make, depending on the year, between 40 and 60 different wines, including the great ones destined for ageing, which can last up to 20 years. Each vine, each grape, and also each vineyard parcel and its surrounding environment: the Blancks are passionately concerned with all of these. |
The
Blancks, wine-makers for generations, are
passionately enamoured with the Alsace
Grands Crus and the other excellent
vineyards that make up their 36 hectare
estate (formerly called Comtes de Lupfen).
