Domaine Maurice Schoech Description
The Schoech family can trace its roots in the vineyards of Ammerschwihr back to 1650. Artifacts from their heritage are on proud display in their cellar in the village of Ammerschwihr. The current estate was established in 1971 on the edge of the village and retains the name Maurice Schoech, although today the domaine is run by his sons, Jean-Léon and Sebastien Schoech.
The estate produces 25 different cuvées from 11 hectares of vines, 70% of which are located in prime hillside locations and harvested manually. All of the parcels are in and around Ammerschwihr except for one 0.5 ha plot in the famed Rangen de Thann vineyard, which is 15km south of the village. Including this little gem, a total of four hectares are planted in Grand Cru vineyards, with about 2.5 hectares in Kaefferkopf and 1 hectare in Mambourg.
Harvested from hillside parcels in the south-facing Katzenstegel vineyard near the domaine. This is a light wine with notes of citrus and bitter almond from its Pinot Blanc and aromas of honeysuckle from its small dose of Muscat. It is the perfect accompaniment to a raclette, a mouclade or an anchoïade. A fine value.
