Domaine BOTT Frères
Wine domain since 7 generations, the Bott Frères Domain is a family house and human size where the know-how and the tradition are transmitted from father to son. Working on 18ha of vineyards, we propose the 7 Alsatian grape varieties, as well as Crémants d'Alsace, Grands Crus and Vendanges Tardives.
Today, the respect of the soils and the environment, the expression of the terroirs and the balance of our wines is what is important to us. This is why the estate has strengthened its efforts to preserve the soil and biodiversity, with ever more meticulous and environmentally friendly work in the vineyards, implemented with the conversion of the estate to organic farming since 2019, under the impetus of son Paul BOTT.
