Situated in Eguisheim, 5 kilometres south of Colmar and in the heart of the Alsace wine region, the Domaine Charles Baur comprises vineyards located in Eguisheim and in its near surroundings. Several of our parcels carry the distinction of being “Grand Crus” including those of Brand, Eichberg and Pfersigberg.
To produce wines of the highest possible quality, we focus on yields of low volume. To this end, all the grapes used in the production of our wines are grown by us on the estate and are then harvested and sorted by hand.
The Domaine Charles Baur produces a complete range of Alsace wines together with a large variety of Grands Crus and sparkling Crémants d‟Alsace. We also produce “eaux de vie” with fruit harvested on the estate.
The Grand Cru Eichberg terroir has a top soil of clay and an undersoil composed of limestone and sandstone. Celebrated since the Middle Ages, the wines are full, round and concentrated.
The vine has been cultivated in Alsace since Roman times, a tradition carried on during the Merovingian and Carolingian periods during which the restorative and pleasure-giving qualities of the wines were recognised.
Today, the Alsace vineyard is approximately one hundred kilometres long, comprises one hundred and nineteen communes and totals over fifteen thousand hectares of vines. As to the categorisation of the wines produced, Alsace AOCs account for 74% of the production, Crémants 22% and the finest Grands Crus, 4%.
