Nine generations have farmed at Maison Leon Baur since 1738, ageing Alsace wines in wooden foudres in cellars beneath Eguisheim's ramparts. Jean-Louis Baur and daughter Caroline bottle Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Grands Crus, cremant and eaux-de-vie.
Best for Grands Crus and cremant from the ramparts
The Beyer family has grown vines at Eguisheim across fourteen generations, now working organically and biodynamically under Demeter and EU organic certification. Their wines draw on the Pfersigberg and Eichberg Grands Crus, with cremant and late-harvest cuvees.
Thirteen generations in Eguisheim, certified organic, run now by the oenologist Michel Ginglinger and his wife Loreto. Crémants, Grands Crus, Pinot Noir and late-harvest wines — and a Gewurztraminer Pfersigberg that won a 2015 Decanter World Wine Awards International Trophy for its 2013 vintage, according to the winery.
Third-generation winemaker Matthieu Stoffel works eight hectares around Eguisheim, certified organic since 2020, with a flagship cuvee from the marl-limestone Grand Cru Eichberg. The estate produces the full range of Alsace varietals.
Fifteen generations of Schoepfers have made wine at Eguisheim since 1656, based in a former tithe court of Marbach Abbey held by the family since 1911. The estate bottles the classic Alsace varietals from its Grand-Rue cellar.
