Producer Profile
Domaine Bott Geyl
The Bott-Geyl estate was founded by two families in the heart of Alsace. The Bott’s had cultivated vines since the 19th Centuryin Ribeauville. The Geyl’s were just a short distance away in Beblenheim, andthey had been producing wine since the end of the 18th Century. In 1926, Andree Geyl and Frederic Paul Bott married, forming Domaine Bott Geyl
Over many years, they expanded their production, from 4 to 14 hectares over 40 years. By 1993, they had explored some of the world’s most renowned winemaking regions, using the knowledge they acquired to improve their technologies and ultimately the quality of the wine. Today the estate covers 18 hectares, including 6 Grands Crus, 3 lieux-dits, and 1 historic Clos, Le Clos des 3 Chemins.
Their estate operates under biodynamic and organic practices, as they keep the sustainability and preservation of the vineyard at the forefront of their operations. They also use minimal intervention in their winemaking, allowing nature to take its course and allowing the wine to reflect terroir and vintage. The results are wines which overtly show complexity, intensity and a distinctive style.
