Young Christophe Scherer, taking over from his father, Andre, is quickly establishing the name of this domaine. He makes rich, yet subtle wines. They offer a superb example of a third style to complement Schoffit’s intensity and Mann’s delineation. Christophe works entirely with oak for his fermentations; large tonneau for the Pinot Blanc, Tokay and Gewurztraminer, and barrique for the Vieilles Vignes cuvees of Tokay and Auxerrois. He is, in my experience, one of the most deftly gifted of any winemaker in Alsace, with the use of barriques.

From Le Classement, 2003 Revue du Vin de France

"After a hunting to find his mark (after looking for his aim) Christophe Scherer has re-found the level of wines of anthologie of his father in the great terroirs."
