DOMAINE ANDRÉ SCHERER Domaine André Scherer is located in Husseren-les-Château, a commune in the Haut-Rhin region of Alsace, in northeastern . The village runs along "La Route des Vins d'Alsace", a beautifully scenic area of vineyards in the vicinity of the Mountains. 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 Gewürztraminer, and barrique for the Vieilles Vignes cuvées of Tokay, Auxerrois, and Pinot Noir. He is, in my experience, one of the most deftly gifted of any winemaker in Alsace with the use of barriques. - Peter Weygandt At 380 meters elevation, overlooking the surrounding plain, Husseren-les- Châteaux is litterally on top of all other viticultural villages in Alsace. Once you have made the climb, though, you are rewarded with a breathtaking view. From here, you have a magnificent view over the Rhine Valley, the Alps, and the Black Forest. The vineyards are all rich in limestone, and are perfectly exposed towards south-east and south. The tradition in Husseren-les-Châteaux, as in Eguisheim, calls for dry wines with elegance and class. With its' dry and cool microclimat, Husseren-les-Châteaux is a must for all vistors to Alsace. A PETER WEYGANDT SELECTION
