Bathing in life-giving sunshine, the slopes of the Domaine Saint-Rémy overlook the Alsace plain. These magnificent landscapes are a testimony of time and tradition. Philippe Ehrhart has grown wine here in total harmony with nature since 1999. This organic and sustainable wine-growing, based on an integrated set of production specifications (Tyflo), infuses life into quality wines produced in a quality environment. To that end, the vineyard is the subject of permanent care and the work is adapted to each type of soil.
Controlled yields and respect for nature and
the environment have always been the essential
basis for the quality of its wines.

A meeting of man and vine
Since 1725, the love of the vine has been a culture passed down
from one generation to the next in the Ehrhart family.
Born into a family of well-known wine-growers, François Ehrhart
has strived for excellence by developing his vineyard on the best
slopes and has passed on his know-how and experience to his
son, the current master of the vineyard.
Philippe perpetuates this passion and offers fine, elegant, refined
and renowned wines.
The various soils in the Domaine Saint-Rémy are perfectly suited to the grape varieties planted there.
Its ideal orientation, soils that are naturally rich and the benefits of sustainable wine-growing, help one wait for the eagerly awaited grape harvest.
When the grapes are ripe, the bunches are selected. Mostly harvested by hand, they are graded with particular care.
The grape-pickers go up and down the rows of vines, bearing a treasure the quintessence of which is achieved through pressing, maceration, fermentation and vinification.
The wines are left to macerate in their fine lees for 6 to 8 months, taking on their aroma before the filtering process. After bottling, the pleasurable moment of tasting.
