Leon Beyer
The Domaine Leon Beyer is a historic Alsatian reality, rooted in the distant 16th century, when the Beyer family was already dedicated to viticulture. The winery was founded in 1867 by Emile Beyer and has preserved to this day its original artisanal face, linked to an ancient savoir-faire passed down from generation to generation. The estate is located in Eguisheim, a few kilometers from Colmar, in the heart of the Alsatian vineyard. The domaine is renowned for producing high-quality wines, faithful to the best traditions of the territory. In the hilly area surrounding the ancient and characteristic village of Eguisheim, the vine has found the best conditions to express itself at excellent qualitative levels, especially with the white grape varieties typical of Northern Europe.
The Eguisheim area extends over approximately 300 hectares, cultivated on the hilly ridges that rise towards the Vosges mountain range. It is considered one of the most suitable terroirs in all of Alsace for its mild microclimate and for the soils composed of prized marl.calcareous. Within the area, two famous Grand Crus stand out: Eichberg and Pfersigberg. It is in this wonderful territory that the Leon Beyer estate manages a vineyard park of exceptional value, divided into parcels located in some of the best areas of the region. The house can also rely on grapes from small local winemakers, chosen for the value of their vineyards and bound by a long-standing trust relationship.
The philosophy of the winery is focused on producing wines characterized by a rigorous respect for traditions. Great attention is given to the cultivation of the vines, in order to always obtain healthy and genuine grapes. Harvesting is done exclusively by hand and only at the moment of perfect ripeness of the bunches. Special care is applied to the winemaking and aging processes, which are still conducted with artisanal care. Fermentations take place separately for each individual parcel, using only indigenous yeasts. The wines mature in stainless steel tanks or in wooden barrels depending on the cuvées and are put on sale after a period of aging in the domaine's cellars.
