Jean-Marie Haag
Jean-Marie Haag and his wife Myriam have been in charge since the 1980s, and are the latest in line of one of the oldest winemaking families in the Alsace region. They are located in the village of Soultzmatt, 20 kms from Colmar. Climate-wise, there is the advantage of the rain shadow of the Vosges mountains to the West, protecting their sunny and sheltered Vallée Noble terroir where the Haag family have their own vineyards. Not least, they have a portion of the prestigious Grand Cru site Zinnkoepfle, with its favourable South-facing aspect and expressive chalk and sandstone soils. Here they produce very fine Riesling and Gewurztraminer wines from a superb site. The Haag family have been exponents of Terra Vitis (responsible viticulture) for over 30 years, as well as HVE (high environmental value). Grapes are all hand-harvested and processed as whole bunches. Winemaking is traditional but precise, with long, cool fermentations in a combination of cement tanks, big old oak cuvées, and stainless steel. Varietal precision and aromatic intensity describe the wine range succinctly.
