The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A rising talent in Alsace and a recent favourite of the Selection Committee, Justin Boxler brings fresh energy and precision to the region. With 12 hectares under organic cultivation—including four Grand Cru sites—he now stands at the helm of a remarkable estate that's quickly earning its place among Alsace’s top names.

His wines are already making their mark on the finest tables and trendiest spots in Paris. With their refined style and impressively fair pricing, it’s no surprise they’re enjoying such rapid and well-earned success.
Wine Beautifully balanced, the 2020 Alsace Grand Cru Brand Riesling is a striking expression of its terroir—precise, powerful, and full of character. Marked by elegant smoky and mineral notes, it’s incredibly fresh and reveals the full range and depth expected of a true Grand Cru. The vibrant structure and fine concentration bring both energy and restrained power. A wine with serious ageing potential—5 years and beyond. A favourite of the Selection Committee, rated 93/100.
Vinification Hand harvested. Long and gentle pressing. Fermentation using indigenous yeasts. Matured on delicate lees in century-old wooden casks.
