Producer
The Cattin family arrived in Voegtlinshoffen, a small village famous for its wines since the Middle-Ages, in 1720. The tradition of father working with son has been passed down through the generations ever since. Today, the estate is run by Jacques senior and Jacques junior, who joined his father in 2007. Both continue to be closely associated in the winemaking process. With a total of 60 hectares under their control, this is one of the largest family-run estates in Alsace.
Voegtlinshoffen itself is located around five kilometres south of Colmar and as a commune has 87 hectares under vine, of which one-quarter are classified as Grand Cru Hatschbourg, which it shares with the neighbouring village of Hattstadt. Historically noted for the quality of its Muscat, the variety appears to thrive in the heavy clay soils. The reputation was somewhat consolidated in the late 20th Century, with Joseph Cattin (1882 – 1963), being known locally as the ‘King of Muscat’.
In addition to Muscat, the Cattin’s also have Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris planted, with a significant five hectares overall.
