Domaine Weinbach is an iconic domaine in Alsace. The winery is housed in a former Capuchin monastery in Kaysersberg dating to the early 17th century. The monks farmed 7 hectares/17 acres of vines within the clos adjacent to the house. These were the same varieties farmed by the Faller family today: Riesling, Sylvaner, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer. Brothers Théodore and Jean-Baptiste Faller, tanners from Kaysersberg, bought the estate in 1898 and transitioned the family into the wine business. They started bottling their wine in the late 1920s under Château Weinbach. Théo Faller took over after the Second World War and changed the name to Domaine Weinbach. Today the estate is run by Catherine Faller and her sons Théo and Eddy Leiber-Faller. Théo Leiber-Faller joined in the early 2000s and looks after vineyards. Eddy Leiber-Faller, who joined in 2017, oversees winemaking with cellar master Ghislain Berthiaut while splitting the commercial management with his mother. They own 38 hectares/94 acres of vineyards, all within 2.5km of the domaine. The holdings are in the Schlossberg Grand Cru, where they are the largest owner with 12 hectares/30 acres of vines, as well as Furstentum, Mambourg and Marckrain Grand Crus and in the Altenbourg lieu-dit. Catherine Faller told me years ago that the Schlossberg, with its granite rocks, is “like a diamond that cuts the wine.” The wines are amongst the most elegant and poised in Alsace. They are paradigms of varietal expression and age effortlessly. In a way, Domaine Weinbach is the guardian of the Schlossberg and its incisive Rieslings. Today, Weinbach is also a name to be reckoned with when it comes to fine Pinot Noir.

2021 Domaine Weinbach Furstentum Pinots Grand Cru
€ 73,00 NO VAT (private collection)
The 2021 Pinots Furstentum Grand Cru is made from about 60% Pinot Gris; the rest is from an adjoining block that is a field blend of Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois; all are co-fermented and aged in small barrels with 20% new oak. The vines are around 40 years old. The nose is vivid with green and yellow pear alongside fresh, ripe lemon – all embraced by a subtle creaminess of oak. The fine texture reminds of citrus pith; while the body is generous and concentrated, there is freshness. (Bone-dry)

€ 29,00 NO VAT (private collection) The Pinner dazzles with its pink-tinged, golden-amber color and bouquet of dusty dried flowers, young mango and crushed stone. There are depths of silky textures here, carried across a medium-bodied frame while neatly contrasted by zesty acids and minerals. Ripe orchard fruits and cooling herbal tones resonate from start to finish, yet the end note here is lip-smacking sour tropical citrus. The Pinner is a varietal Pinot Noir, but not technically a Rosé, which takes its color from spending nine months sur lie in stainless steel with daily bâtonnage. - Eric Guid0- By Vinous on May 2021

€ 27,00 NO VAT (private collection) The Sauvignon Quintessenz wafts up with a pretty bouquet of lemon zest and gooseberry complicated by hints of crushed stone. It’s silky and supple on the palate, with vibrant acidity motivating tart orchard fruits. This leaves a sour citrus tension and a saline mineral twang while finishing potent yet fresh.- By Eric Guido on December 2022

€ 99,00 NO VAT (private collection)The 2018 Batàr is perfumed and gracious, with lovely orchard fruit, chamomile and floral notes that lift effortlessly from the glass. A wine of total precision and nuance, the 2018 is simply exquisite today. Stylistically it is a bit more perfumed and lighter than is the norm.
