Pfister Estate

Mélanie, a young independent wine grower, also chairs « Des diVINes d’Alsace », an organisation that brings together about fifty female wine growers. Covered in diplomas, this agricultural engineer, with a diploma in oenology had a stint at the prestigious Cheval Blanc estate in Saint Emilion. Mélanie, a highly literate wine grower is the eighth of a whole generation of Pfister. The estate dates back to 1780 with ten hectares over nearly forty plots. Despite being in a very traditional wine growing environment, she has started a new generation of wines inspired from the Bordeaux region she knows so well. The Cuvée 8, a blend of four noble grape varieties, is a dry white strong in aromas and full of freshness. Her latest innovation, introducing glass tops to seal the flûtes, the name of the traditionally shaped bottles of Alsace wines. As a result, her wines appear even more precious and elegant and there is no risk of corked wine! Wines on the up. Visits by appointment. www.domaine-pfister.com www.divinesdalsace.com
