Caves de Ribeauville
The Cave de Ribeauvillé is the oldest wine co-operative in France, founded in 1895. The winemakers work together with the growers to ensure low yields and only hand-picked grapes using organic and biodynamic methods. The co-op includes over 650 acres of vines surrounding the town of Ribeauvillé, near the Vosges mountains. The alternating razor sharp ridges and plummeting valleys create slopes with fantastic exposure to the sun and great protection from the wind and rain which help maximize the potential of this vertiginous land.
