The Alsace region is favoured by an extraordinary geography and climate. Turckheim, a touristic city close to Colmar, is home to the 12.5 hectares (31 acres) of vineyards from Domaine François BAUR and is the cradle of the family’s winemaking history since 1741. Here, the vine stocks are rooted in three different terroirs, they are tended with a deep love for the grape and a profound respect for the earth and in return they offer marvelous aromas to our famous wines.
Wine is a story of the grapes, but also of the roots. Each generation ensures the care it lavishes on its land and biodynamics has reigned on the Estate for several decades. Without synthetic chemicals harmful to its underground life, the soil, an organism in its own right, brings its balance and vital energy to the plantations.
This respect for the land preserves and magnifies our terroir just as much as it enhances the vines… and the wine!
The richness of our subsoil and exceptional microclimatic conditions are at the origin of our grand cru, Brand. It is one of the 51 Alsace grand cru appellations and its land of fire, crowned with legend, gave birth to Dragon’s Blood, the Domaine’s star wine.
