🍷 Vintage Profile
The 2024 growing season in Alsace presented persistent rainfall and cool conditions through spring and early summer, demanding rigorous canopy management and vigilant mildew control under sustainable farming protocols. A drier, sunnier late summer permitted the Riesling fruit to achieve steady phenolic maturity while retaining bracing natural malic and tartaric acidity. Yields across the region were naturally tempered, resulting in a lighter-bodied, tension-driven profile defined by tart citrus and pronounced mineral drive. In 2026, the vintage shows vibrant primary freshness, with optimal drinking projected between 2026 and 2031.

✨ Technical Specifications
Grown on the sun-exposed foothill slopes of the Haut-Rhin where Vosges granite, marl, and limestone converge, this cuvée captures the taut, mineral-etched signature of Alsatian Riesling. Slow pneumatic pressing precedes temperature-controlled fermentation in inert stainless steel tanks, avoiding malolactic conversion to preserve pristine varietal tension. Extended maturation on fine lees builds mid-palate texture while letting vibrant citrus pith and crushed-stone minerality drive the finish.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1947 in the upper reaches of Voegtlinshoffen, Maison Théo Cattin et Fils embodies a distinguished branch of the Cattin family viticultural dynasty, which has farmed the foothills of the Vosges Mountains since the early 18th century. In 2015, following the retirement of Jean-Bernard Cattin, stewardship transitioned to cousins Jacques and Anaïs Cattin. The estate oversees vineyards across renowned South Colmar terroirs, including the historic marl-limestone slopes of Alsace Grand Cru Hatschbourg and mineral-laden lieux-dits such as Gypsgrube and Bollenberg. Operating under sustainable viticultural disciplines, the cellar focuses on precise, temperature-regulated vinification that champions varietal transparency and dry, structured finishes. Benchmark expressions include their steely, citrus-driven Riesling, richly aromatic Gewürztraminer Grand Cru Hatschbourg, and vibrant Crémant d'Alsace, each reflecting the intense sunlight, well-drained geological patchwork, and rain-shadow microclimate characteristic of the Haut-Rhin.
