Albert Boxler is a famous wine producer in Alsace with a history dating back to the late 17th century. The founder, Jean Boxler, left Switzerland to settle in Niedermorschwihr and start producing wine in 1673. The estate was handed down from generation to generation and Albert Boxler and his wife took over the winery and renamed it Domaine Albert Boxler. They expanded the vineyards by acquiring land on the Sommerberg hill and introduced wine bottling. In 1962, the winery was taken over by Jean-Marc Boxler who continued to improve the quality of the wine.
Domaine Albert Boxler covers 14 hectares of granite terroir around Niedermorschwihr, half of which is in the Grands Crus Brand and Sommerberg. It produces mainly white wines such as Riesling, Pinot blanc, Pinot gris, Gewurztraminer, Sylvaner and Muscat à petits grains blancs. Only 1 hectare is dedicated to the production of red wine, from Pinot noir grapes, which remains one of the most interesting wines of the Domaine.
The vines have an average age of 35 years and the grapes are harvested manually due to the steep topography.
The wines produced by Domaine Albert Boxler are recognised for their purity and elegance. The cellar produces about 60,000 bottles per year. All the wines of the Domaine represent their terroir of origin and are precise, fine, intense and balanced.
