Domaine Schoffit

Domaine Schoffit is a renowned wine producer located in the Alsace region of France. Founded in 1948 by Robert Schoffit, the family-owned winery has a long history of producing high-quality and distinctive wines. The estate is currently managed by Bernard Schoffit, the son of Robert, who has continued the family tradition of crafting exceptional wines.

The vineyards of Domaine Schoffit are situated in the village of Colmar, in the heart of the Alsace wine region. This region is known for its cool climate and unique terroir, which is influenced by the Vosges Mountains and the Rhine River. The combination of these factors creates the perfect conditions for growing grapes that produce wines with great complexity and character.

Domaine Schoffit is known for its dedication to traditional winemaking methods, with a strong focus on organic and sustainable practices. The estate has been certified as organic since 2012 and has also been awarded the prestigious Demeter biodynamic certification. This commitment to environmentally friendly practices not only produces exceptional wines but also reflects the respect and love for the land that the Schoffit family holds.

The wines of Domaine Schoffit are predominantly made from the four noble grape varieties of Alsace - Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Blanc. These grapes are carefully handpicked and sorted before being gently pressed to preserve the delicate flavors and aromas. The resulting wines are elegant, balanced, and full of character, with a distinct sense of place.

One of the standout wines from Domaine Schoffit is their Riesling Grand Cru Rangen de Thann Clos St. Théobald, from the renowned Grand Cru vineyard of Rangen de Thann. This wine is made from grapes grown on steep, south-facing slopes with volcanic soil, producing a wine with intense minerality and a long finish. This wine has consistently received high ratings and critical acclaim
