The Rangen vineyard
The Rangen vineyard in Thann is the southernmost in Alsace and the only one in the region to be classified as Grand Cru in its entirety.
Its hillsides (350 to 450m), facing due south, extend over an area of 22 ha with slopes of up to 45°.
You have certainly already seen on TV, reports on its spectacular and perilous harvests! In some plots, the harvesters are roped together for a real mountaineering course! Thrills guaranteed!
This vineyard owes its reputation to its terroir on volcanic soil, to the presence of the Thur river which provides it with the humidity necessary for the grapes to ripen.
This vineyard produces 4 exceptional grape varieties:
- Riesling: mineral, complex, full-bodied wine, with a long finish and a racy, ripe acidity.
- Pinot Gris: found in volcanic soils, hence its presence in the Rangen. It is a full-bodied, powerful, complex wine, often marked by smoky and flint aromas with a salty acidity.
- Gewürztraminer: is the most typical of Alsatian wines. Its color is golden and very bright. It is an aromatic, full-bodied, fruity and mineral wine.
- Muscat: dry and aromatic, with an inimitable fruitiness.
A marked path allows you to walk there (3 walks for 3 levels, hats are a must!)
