Description

About Joseph Cattin

The Cattin family established in Alsace in 1720 and immediately started to grow vines. Today the family (Jacques Cattin Sr, Jacques Cattin Jr and Jean-Marie Cattin) owns a bit more than 60ha of vines; and are one of the largest family-owned wineries in Alsace.

Because the vineyards lie on the foothills of the Vosges, the altitude of the plots varies from 200 to 400m. Most of them face the south-east and thus get maximum sunlight, which makes the grapes incomparably ripe and complex.
