Rene Muré
Twelve generations of the Muré family have tended their vines in Rouffach, a township of Alsace that sits just south of Colmar. The 28-hectare estate operates mostly in the surrounding Côte de Rouffach, where the hills bow inwards and create a variety of different exposures, altitudes and pockets of distinct soil profiles. Their most prized vineyard, Clos Saint Landelin, sits at the heart of Grand Cru Vorbourg, on terraced slopes facing southwards. Their planting fits a little of everything in this remarkable vineyard, with Riesling at the core, flanked by Pinot Gris, Sylvaner, Gewurztraminer above and Pinot Noir plantings on the flats just below.
