Rene Mure, currently at the helm of the family
estate, is the 11th generation of winemakers in the family, which has been
growing vines in the area since 1650. The 23 ha estate holdings include Grand
Cru Zinnkoepfle and Vorbourg with the monopole Clos St Landelin (comprising 15
ha of the estate's holding) within it, the latter being acquired by Rene's
grandfather in 1935. The estate has been farmed organically for some time and
its flagship Clos St Landelin is tended under biodynamic principles. Precise
winemaking turn the quality fruit into wines of repute and longevity, and with
Rene's children already involved in the operation of the domaine, this family
business looks set to go from strength to strength.
