 Producer Profile...
Based in Eguisheim, south of Colmar, Bruno Sorg established the estate in 1970. His son, François now runs the estate, and believes wines are made in the vineyard and that the wine-maker has a duty to work with nature. Yields are kept low and the Sorg style is definitely one of rich fruit, residual sugar and finesse. He has 10 hectares of wonderfully situated vines, half of them in grand crus. Old vines and sandstone soil give great concentration and flavour.
