Local Event
The Most Beautiful Village In France": Emile Beyer Wines Of Eguisheim
Mon, April 16, 2018 (7:00 PM - 9:00 PM)
Cost: $95
Join us for a wine tasting dinner with Christian Beyer and discover his beautifully elegant, complex, truly breathtaking wines from the village of Eguisheim.
Located just outside of Colmar, Eguisheim was the birthplace of viticulture in Alsace and is a village dear to the hearts of wine lovers. The region is a mosaic composed of chalky marl, sandstone and clay in varying proportions from one plot to the next. The vineyards benefit from the wealth of these diverse terroirs, which combined with the unique microclimate, enables the vine to reach its highest potential.
The experience that Emile Beyer has acquired over generations enables the domaine to classify its wines by the grape varietal and also by quality, according to the location of the vines.
In words of Christian Beyer, who represents the 14th generation of the Beyer Family of wine growers in the charming village of Eguisheim, the birthplace and very heart of Alsace wine production:
"As the custodian of a viticultural history, but also with my experience in France and abroad, I am part of this new generation of Alsace wine growers seeking to produce a great wine.
2016 represents the Domaine’s first steps towards biodynamic agriculture.This highly demanding form of cultivation relies on the use of plant-based compounds designed to strengthen the life of the soil and the vineyards.Consideration of the lunar and planetary rhythms is a key element of this method. Giving happiness, with elegant wines: this is what I take pride in."
