" Katia and Etienne are passionate about their work and it shows! Discreet, endearing and attentive to their guests, they will be able to advise you and offer you wines from their estate, sometimes unusual, some would say nuggets, that they grow in respect of their environment. "
In Ammerschwihr, the beating heart of Alsace's vineyards, the winery Etienne Simonis opens its doors to you for an immersion in over 350 years of history and winemaking expertise. Heirs to a family tradition dating back to the late 17th century, Katia and Etienne Simonis have been passionately cultivating their 7 hectares of vines for 25 years, following the principles of organic farming and biodynamics. Their aim? To reveal the unique character of their terroirs while respecting the natural balance of the vines.
The cellar, where 1950s oak tuns, stainless steel vats and Burgundy barrels coexist, is the scene of a vinification without artifice. Here, the wine evolves in symbiosis with nature: only the yeasts present on the grapes transform the sugar into alcohol, thus preserving all the aromatic richness of the wine.
Winner of a star in the Guide Vert des meilleurs vins de France 2024, the winery Etienne Simonis stands out for its emblematic cuvées, ranging from traditional grape varieties to Vendanges Tardives, not forgetting the Grand Cru Kaefferkopf. For lovers of unique wines, this is an opportunity to discover a collection of new wines, in a warm and authentic atmosphere.
