A land of knowledge History and staff

Our history

The Domaine de l’Ecole is a mix of Alsatian skills and passion. It has respected the environnement for 150 years and has given a genuine training to the students by producing a wine of quality.

The creation

The agricultural high school was founded in 1869 ; and the estate buildings were built right after in 1907

During the second world war

The size of the vineyard increased during the German occupation and spread on 14.5 ha. Five hectares were on a rich and exceptionnal terroir : le Grand Cru Vorbourg

The modernization

The Domaine de l’Ecole has kept evolving since the 1950’s. It was one of the first to set up direct sales and to bottle sparkling wine in the 1970’s

A vineyard commited to protect the environnement

Since the 1980’s, the estate has been committed to respect the environnement by maintaining ground cover and by reducing input. The year 2014 is a landmark as the Grand Cru plots have been turned organic

Looking for genuineness

Nowadays, we keep setting up green strategies and experiments to answer issues linked to the area. The issues are studied at the same time by the students. Complex wines are made in an exceptional environnement thanks to the vinification of plots and to a strict monitoring of vintages
