Henry Fuchs

Winemaker Paul Fuchs and his sister Julie, who looks after the administrative and business side, run the 10-hectare/25-acre Domaine Henri Fuchs in Ribeauvillé. The siblings are the third generation to bottle wines at the domaine after their great-grandfather founded it and only made wine for local consumption. Paul Fuch’s first vintage in charge was in 2005 before taking over in 2006. He qualified as a winemaker in Rouffach and Beaune, got a biology license in Dijon and worked at the Dujac-owned Domaine de Triennes in Provence, Egon Müller in Germany, Forrest Estate in Marlborough and Château Los Boldos in Santiago de Chile. Fuchs started converting the estate to organics in 2008 and became certified in 2011. Paul Fuchs gained a following when his Pinot Noir Rouge Comme Renard from the 2005 vintage was showcased alongside the winning salmon dish in the Bocuse d’Or competition – he had decided to vinify the Pinot Noir grapes in grand cru Kirchberg de Ribeauvillé separately. While Pinot Noir only occupies 1 hectare/2.5 acres of holdings (it made the domaine’s name), the whites are equally elegant. Domaine Henri Fuchs still flies under the radar but provides subtly aromatic wines that express the essential coolness of Ribeauvillé. The flagship Rouge Comme Renard is the portfolio star, always elegant and never overblown.
