Clos St Landelin is a monopole of th Mure family
estates, having been acquired by them in 1935. This vineyard can be traced back
to the 7th century when it belonged to the Bishop of Strasbourg. In the 8th
century a bishop donated it to the St Landelin Abbey. Situated at the southern
end of Grand Cru Vorbourg, the vineyard is south facing and terraced, planted
with the four noble varieties as well as Pinot Noir and Sylvaner. Grapes ripen
well in this vineyard, which also can support noble rot in the right conditions,
hence it also regularly produces both Vendange Tardive and Selections de Grains
Nobles just like the wine above.
