Situated 30 km south west of Strasbourg, J.M. Sohler is a boutique estate family producer  nestled in the hamlet of Blienschwiller. To the north lies Nothalten, noted for its Rieslings, especially Grand Cru Muenchberg. To the south lies Dambach-la-Ville, considered by many to be the best wine village in the Bas-Rhin.

The two houses pictured on the label are the home and winery of the Sohler family. The caves, where all the wine is matured, date back to 1563. The winery is well known for their wines from the Grand Cru Winzenberg vineyard, overlooking the town of Blienschwiller, at an altitude of 240 to 320m. Its steep south / east facing slope and granite-mica soils produce powerful, long-lived wines.

Crémant d'Alsace Rosé de Noirs Brut

Situated 30 km southwest of Strasbourg, J.M. Sohler is a boutique estate family producer nestled in the hamlet of Blienschwiller. This rosé comes entirely from Pinot Noir, and was gently whole bunch pressed before resting on lees until the following spring, when it heads to the bottle and a minimum 24 months rest on lees. This is from 2023, and was disgorged to order with 8 g/L.

Ripe strawberry, cherry, mandarin rules the silken palate, with fine bubbles, and finer spicing through a brief, bitter kissed finish.

JM Sohler
Pinot Noir Les Terrasses

Sourced from a 30-year-old granitic soiled, terraced pinot noir vineyard in Blienschwiller, in the Bas-Rhin, this was fermented and aged in very old (75+ years), very large wood. Concentrated but so elegantly finessed, with beauty haunting cherry and raspberry licked with kirsch and flaked with sea salts. The core of red fruit is housed by spiderweb tannins and lifted with an easy, natural swell of acidity. Nothing is forced with this charming wine; drinking lovely now, but will hold in your cellar short term.
