BERGER Claude EARL

ur family business is located in the heart of the Alsatian vineyard, in the Upper Rhine part of the Alsace Wine Route called "The Pearls of the Vineyard". The Domaine Berger is an estate that has been handed down from father to son for three generations. After Frédéric and Claude, Olivier the grandson perpetuates this family passion and know-how. Olivier, who joined his parents on the family estate in 2005, has been passionate about the world of winegrowing since he was very young. Our wines come from a mosaic of 67 plots, totalling 9 ha of vines, most of which are planted on the best slopes between Colmar, the capital of Alsace wines, and Ribeauvillé. The fertility of the Mittelwihr soil has been recognised since the 12th century. Its exceptional climate explains the presence of the emblematic almond trees of this charming wine town of 950 inhabitants. They give their name to the famous local terroir classified as "Grand Cru": the Mandelberg. To pay homage to this generous nature which delivers the most subtle aromas of fruit and flowers, all our wines are aged in wooden barrels. Our ambition is to contribute with passion and professionalism to the renown of Alsace wines. The estate has a tasting cellar. Visit of the cellar Children are welcome!
