Domaine Jean-Marc Bernhard is located in Katzenthal, west of Colmar, in the heart of the Alsatian vineyards. The vineyard of 11 hectares in organic culture is spread over 5 communes, providing both variety and complementary crop.
The family winery is located in the heart of the village, the farm was acquired by the Bernhard family in 1802, while the buildings date back to the end of the 16th century. The cellars have always been used exclusively for viticulture.
Today, the company benefits from the dynamism and experience of nine generations of winemaking families, from father to son, serving viticulture and quality wine. The attachment to our vineyard roots remains intact today, symbol of a family business where everyone plays their part.

Wines Available
Gewurztraminer Grand Cru 'Mambourg'
Origin: Alsace, France
Grapes exclusively from the steeply-sloped Mambourg GC vineyards which dominate the area of Sigolsheim. For centuries this had been considered a privileged location, receiving periods of maximum sunshine and high temperatures due to its southern orientation. The calcium-magnesium soils are developed above calcareous conglomerates and marls. Very low yield.
Vinification
After a manual harvest with little sorting, we perform a slow pressing. Indigenous yeast fermentation, follows, then ageing on fine lees for 10 months. The bottle ageing potential is 5 to 15 years.

Winemaker's Notes
Complex nose, candied, spicy, exotic fruits, powerful and full-bodied palate. Balance oriented towards the softness. Our Mambourg Gewurztraminer are explosive, powerful and concentrated, but without heaviness. Its exotic and spicy character tames this power and asserts itself with time.
Aperitif, exotic dishes, sweet-salty, munster, blue.

From granitic soils, harvested early in September. Muscat Ottonel 70%, Muscat d'Alsace 30%.
