Cellar: Catherine Riss

The Catherine Riss winery, located in the heart of Alsace, is an authentic expression of the territory and French winemaking tradition. Founded by the talented winemaker Catherine Riss (studies in viticulture in Burgundy, and internship in the company with Jean-Luis Trapet), the winery stands out for its dedication to biodynamic viticulture, respectful of the environment and biodiversity. The vineyards are located around the village of Reichsfeld, and are characterized by two very different types of soil. The plots south of Andlau are characterized by a soil with a predominantly sandy composition, while the others, where the Riesling vineyards and one of the two Pinot Noir, T'as pas du Schiste, are located, are composed of blue schist, very rare in Alsace . Catherine's wines are elegant and complex wines, particularly the Riesling and Pinot Noir, which reflect the purity of the Alsatian terroir. Each bottle is the result of meticulous attention to detail, combining passion, experience and respect for nature.
