Established in 1836, Gustave Lorentz is now one of the major family-owned fine wine producers in Alsace. The Gustave Lorentz estate vineyards represent 33 hectares of vineyards exclusively on the hillsides of Bergheim in the heart of Alsace, including 12ha on the Altenberg Grand Cru of Bergheim and 1.5 ha on the Grand Cru Kanzlerberg. Bergheim is located in central Alsace where the soils are heavy and produce very high-quality wines. Firmly convinced of the need to produce higher quality grapes, Georges Lorentz began the transition to organic viticulture in the early 2000s and the estate-grown grapes finally became fully organic in 2012.
