The Domain: Bestheim is a grouping of more than 380 families of coop members, who are known as the Moon Chasers.
The Bestheim Moon Chasers demonstrate a unique know-how to sublimate wines, true arts of gastronomy. The effervescence of our Crémants d'Alsace is born in the cellars of Westhalten. The quieter character of our wines comes from the very heart of the brand, from Bennwihr. At Bestheim, each cuvée is a collegial work of art whose story begins with the choice of tools.
The first artists to enter the scene are the winemakers. Driven by the transmission of know-how from a long lineage, they are at the origin of the adaptations between colours - the grape varieties - and the material - the terroirs. Their different ways of cultivating the vines, often handed down from generation to generation, are as many brushes, spatulas or varnishes that give the different plots of land unique volumes, materials and structures.
At Bestheim, we have chosen to reconcile tradition and modernity, with a policy of regular investment. Investing in cutting-edge technology allows us to guarantee the flawless quality of our grapes, musts, wines and sparkling wines. Years of investments and improvements have allowed us to achieve total control over every stage in the winemaking process, from harvesting to vinification, filtering, maturing and even packaging.
Double-annealed stainless steel vats for optimised cleaning, sunken buildings with automatic temperature regulation, maximal use of daylight, waste water pre-treatment station, solar panels, optimised flow management, waste recycling: we leave no stone unturned in our quest to deliver the finest wines and Crémants d'Alsace.
