GUILLAUME KESTER, A GRAPE GROWER IN RIBEAUVILLÉ YVES BALTENWECK, CHAIRMAN OF THE RIBEAUVILLÉ WINERY AND ÉVELYNE BLÉGER-COGNACQ, ITS WINEMAKER HENRI WINDHOLTZ, A GRAPE GROWER WHO BELONGS TO THE RIBEAUVILLÉ WINERY a tight rein is kept on yields and the vineyards are farmed sustainably or organically. Sparkling wines account for 40% of production and span five different labels: Crémants Giersberger, a blend of Pinot blanc and Auxerrois; Giersberger Rosé single varietal Pinot noir; Giersberger Chardonnay; Crémant Bio, blended from Pinot blanc, Auxerrois, Pinot gris and Riesling; and the Grande Cuvée, a solera-style wine made from Pinot noir and Chardonnay. “All of them have Brut dosage to make them fresh and suitable for elegant gourmet foods”, comments communications manager Célia Langlois. “The production process involves selection at pressing, traditional method fermentation and ageing on the lees for at least 18 months, which is longer than appellation rules where 12 months are mandatory”.

The vineyards are farmed organically and biodynamically and are certified Demeter. The winery’s Chardonnay-based Crémant is made from grapes grown in two blocks, one of which is located in Grand Cru Altenberg de Wolxheim and is matured for 30 months. The portfolio also includes traditional Crémants made from Pinot blanc and Pinot Auxerrois, and a Pinot noir-based rosé. “We are reaping the benefits of having focused our production on grape varieties geared to Crémants since the 1980s”, says Mathieu Zoeller, who joined the property in 1992 after studying viticulture. “So the dedicated vineyards are an average 25 to 30 years old and develop great 26 SPRING 2024 • GILBERT & GAILLARD - THE FRENCH EXPERTS ON WINE
