When Michel Muré settled in Rouffach and planted his vineyard in the 17th century, he surely had little conception of the beautiful adventure that he was setting in motion for his descendants. In 1935, Alfred Muré extended the property with the addition of the 12-hectare (25-acre) wholly owned Clos Saint Landelin, foreseeing already its potential for exceptional quality. He replanted the terraces, ideally situated with their sunny exposure and shelter from the rain.

Nowadays it is Alfred’s grandson René, together with his children Véronique and Thomas, the 11th and 12th generations of the family, who are responsible for running this exceptional, wholly-owned vineyard and its neighbouring terroirs, using biodynamic methods.

Sheltered by the highest peaks of the Vosges mountains, this terroir receives an exceptional amount of sunshine. The mainly limestone subsoil ensures good drainage. The exposure of the hillsides goes from east to south-west. In 2005 the INAO (Institut National des Appellations d’Origine) acknowledge the denomination « Côte de Rouffach » as a communal appellation.

This dry riesling has lively notes of lemon and clementine with a spritz of white peach and blossoms on the nose. Beautiful freshness on the palate thanks to zippy, mineral- driven acidity balanced by flavours of crunchy stone fruits and lemon/lime zest. 

A very flexible wine for any kind of food. Excellent with East Asian cuisines.

About the Winery

Domaine Muré

The Muré family has been winegrowers in the region of Rouffach since 1650. In 1935, Alfred Muré, René’s grandfather, bought 32 acres of family-monopole vineyard name Clos St. Landelin, an area that has been described as the best of Alsace Grand Cru since the 7th Century.

Today, René Muré, the 11th generation of the family, along with his children, Véronique and Thomas, are responsible for running their exceptional Grand Cru vineyard and neighbouring terroirs using biodynamic methods. Until this day, they persist in hand-picking every single grape, and focus on crafting wines that preserve the family’s credo. The resulting wines are some of Alsace's finest – powerful, elegant, and age-worthy.

93 Points - John Szabo, MS

Terrifically intense nose here, dripping with candied lime and honey, wet limestone and marzipan in an impressive aromatic display. The palate is firm, mid-weight, clearly very concentrated, with plenty of savoury, saline character, mature but not overly advanced, with terrific energy and depth, and a finish that just keeps going. Genuine wine with excellent complexity. Drink or hold into the late-'30s I suspect without issue. Great value.
