Les Comtes de Ribeauville Alsace Grand Cru Gloeckelberg Pinot Gris Doux 2018《ZF491》

The Cave de Ribeauville, the first cooperative in France, was founded in 1895. In the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian war, in response to the crisis, 44 Alsatian winegrowing families decided to unite their harvest around a common project. Forerunners throughout the vineyards, they organized a wine cooperative in the pretty village of Ribeauville on the Alsace Wine Route.

Our 245-hectare vineyard is concentrated 5km north and 8km south of the village of Ribeauvillé. Situated on a major geological fault, it offers a wide variety of soils.

Alsace is located in northeastern France, between the Rhine River and the Vosges Mountains. The winding Rhine River has become the natural border between Germany and France.

Alsace is mainly divided into three parts, namely Alsace AOC, Alsace Grand Cru AOC, and Cremant d’ Alsace. The Alsace AOC was established in 1962, accounting for about 70% of the local production, most of which is white wine. The Alsace Grand Cru AOC was established in 1975, and the number of grand crus was added in 1983, 1992 and 2007. At present, Alsace has 51 grand crus, and their production accounts for only 4% of the total production of Alsace.
