Today, the estate remains very much a family affair, with their son François, his wife Régine and their son Antoine continuing the tradition of producing richly expressive wines that celebrate the region's remarkable vineyards. Bruno was a man of extraordinary patience and ambition, spending some 30 years gradually acquiring parcels of steep, overgrown land in the celebrated Grand Cru Pfersigberg vineyard, eventually transforming them into productive terraces. This dedication to the land remains central to the family's philosophy, with low yields, careful vineyard management and a thoughtful approach to winemaking helping to capture the distinctive character of Alsace. Their 'Gewurztraminer Moelleux' is a particularly charming expression of this philosophy, with the grapes allowed to develop wonderful aromatic intensity and natural richness before being transformed into a wine of remarkable depth and character. The word moelleux suggests softness and sweetness, but don't mistake this for a conventional dessert wine. Despite its generous fruit and luscious texture, a delicate thread of freshness and a gently off-dry finish keep everything beautifully balanced. It's a wonderfully versatile wine, particularly at home alongside fragrant spices, rich cheeses and dishes with a little sweetness of their own.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With...
