About the winery
The Beyer family have been wine-growers in Eguisheim, the cradle of the Alsace wine-producing region, since 1580. In 1867, Emile BEYER founded the "Maison de Vin d'Alsace" (the Alsace wine house, currently run by Léon BEYER, who took over the reins from his father Léon BEYER senior in 1959, and his son Marc.
Léon BEYER offers its clientele a complete selection of Alsace wines, from Sylvaner and Pinot Blanc to the prestigious Riesling, Tokay, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer. These wines are presented under a world-renowned label and include special selections, such as the Riesling "Les Ecaillers", the Rieslings, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer "Comtes d'Eguisheim" and even the rare "Vendanges Tardives" and exceptional "Selections de Grains Nobles".
Grapes cultivated on the best slopes of Eguisheim and the surrounding area are the raw material from which are made the prestigious Alsace wines which have forged the worldwide reputation and brand image of Léon BEYER wines, present on the wine menus of the finest restaurant in France, Europe and even the world.
Some of the best local wine-growers renowned for the quality of their production, loyal to Léon BEYER also supply the grapes from their harvests. The firm presses the grapes, vinifies then ages the wine in the finest conditions.
Vinification, done with loving care and attention, combining the rigours of time-honoured tradition and modern techniques, creates a wine for an elite clientele and connoisseurs of great Alsace dry white wines, spirited and elegant, or mellow and sweet, like the Vendanges Tardives or Selections de Grains Nobles.
Approximately 75% of the production of these great, upmarket, Alsace wines, are exported throughout the world and appreciated by some of the most discerning amateurs of great Alsace white wines, in the colours of Alsace, the tradition and prestige of Léon BEYER.
