  managed by Jean-Christophe Bott since 1993. He
  converted the vineyards to be organic in 2000 and
  then biodynamic in 2002.

• Jean-Christophe Bott is heir to the family
  tradition dating back to 1795, when his ancestor,
  Jean-Martin Geyl tended his vines and made his
  wine.

• In the vineyards he concentrates on low yields
  and in the cellars he oversees the vinification
  in the most natural and minimalist manner. The
  whole art is to bring together tradition and
  modernity, to perpetuate the vignoble for
  posterity and to protect its ecology.

  hectares of vines including 6 Grands Crus and 4

  a way that this uniqueness is imbedded in his
  wines.

  fashion Jean-Christophe Bott has drawn directly
  from the riches of viticulture in the past, from
  omnipresent Nature and from his experiences at
  wine producers in France, in Germany and in the
  New World.

  the men and the women of the Bott family of
  Ribeauvillé and the Geyl family of Béblenheim,
