Committed to organic viticulture that respects the living, we seek through our wines to express with finesse the richness and complexity of our terroirs.
It is on the small hill of the village of Zellenberg that the Jean Becker estate has been making renowned wines for more than 400 years.
Established in Zellenberg since 1610, the Becker family is one of the oldest families in the Alsatian vineyards. The work of the vine is passed on with respect for previous and future generations.
Around 1980, aware of the richness and fragility of their exceptional wine heritage, Martine, Jean-Philippe and Jean-François took the step towards sustainable and reasoned agriculture.
In 1999, convinced of the importance of their efforts for the vine, the wine and the living, they decided to convert the entire farm to organic farming, despite the warnings of many colleagues.
Since then, exalted by the idea of progress, the siblings have continued to take on new challenges in the vineyard as well as in the cellar. Today, our practices are bringing us closer and closer to those of biodynamics. We are experimenting with new winemaking techniques in order to contribute to the provision of a new look at the wines of Alsace.
