The estate was founded in the 18th century in Eguisheim, but the family’s farming (and livestock breeding) history dates back further still, according to Arnaud Baur. In fact, the estate began specializing in wine only after World War II, when estate bottling was initiated. Armand Baur graduated from the Dijon Oenology faculty and took over from his father Charles at the beginning of the 1980s, and the estate is now run by young Arnaud Baur, who trained in Toulouse with stages in Tokaji, Hungary and Anderson Valley, California. The estate specializes in Crémant production, but makes a very solid range of Alsace dry and sweet wines. I especially like the old-style, almost cartoonish, very colorful labels.
