Bestheim

Im Jahr 2000 schlossen sich die Weinkellereien aus Bennwihr und Westhalten im Elsass zu dem Verbund Bestheim zusammen. Die Wurzeln des Unternehmens gehen jedoch bis ins Jahr 1765 zurück.

Südlich von Colmar, im Zentrum des Vallée Noble liegt das Dorf Westhalten. Hier erzeugt Bestheim seine außergewöhnlichen Schaumweine, die Cremants d'Alsace. Der Standort Bennwihr, nördlich von Colmar und direkt an der elsässischen Weinstraße gelegen, hat sich dagegen auf die Produktion von Stillweinen spezialisiert. Der Genossenschaft angeschlossenen sind 480 Weinbauern, die 1400 ha Rebflächen bewirtschaften. Zusätzlich kauft Bestheim die Produktion von weiteren 400 ha ein. Bei der Arbeit im Weinberg wie im gesamten Unternehmen legt Bestheim großen Wert auf den Umweltschutz.

Die sieben zugelassenen Elsässer Rebsorten sind Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Sylvaner, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Muscat d’Alsace, und Pinot Noir. Bestheim produziert das gesamte Sortiment in verschiedenen Qualitäten. Im Jahr 2008 weitete Bestheim seine Produktion aus und betreibt jetzt zusätzlich zwei Châteaux in Bordeaux (Château De Caillavet und Château Fillon) mit etwa 45 ha Rebfläche.

Product recommendation

Les Jamelles Pinot Noir
Les Jamelles Pinot Noir has a dark color with ruby red nuances. It is a Vin de Pays d'Oc IGP.This dry red wine impresses with aromas of red and black berries, mixed with floral tones and a delicate hint of wood and vanilla. On the palate, it is very complex and fruity, rich, long and full-bodied. It conveys aromas of crushed black berries (blackberry, blackcurrant, cherry) and jam; its tannins are enveloping and well integrated.Unlike many other Pinot Noir wines from the Pays d'Oc, this one is not dominated by heaviness and excessive over-ripeness.Another example of how Catherine Delaunay has brought her family's know-how to the south of France. Produced in limited quantities, this wine breaks with preconceived ideas about this grape variety when it is grown outside its region of origin.Les Jamelles Pinot Noir goes very well with charcuterie, poultry (chicken in cream sauce) and light cheeses.

Wolfberger Signature Pinot Noir d'Alsace AOC
Alsace stands for the "Art de Vivre" (art of living) paired with the romance of half-timbered houses.

The French winery Wolfberger uses this terroir with its unique variety of soils for its Pinot Noir d'Alsace AOC.The Pinot Noir berries are harvested as soon as the grapes are optionally ripe. After alcoholic fermentation, the dry red wine matures on the lees.A wine-red grape juice appears in the glass. The nose is surrounded by intense aromas of red fruits such as strawberries, raspberries and cherries. The tannins are mild and present on the palate, paired with a good, fruity presence.We recommend the Wolfberger Pinot Noir d'Alsace AOC with grilled red meat, sausages of all kinds and cheese.
