With so many new producers being included in our list for 2008/9 it has been great to also revisit one of our longstanding suppliers in Willy Gisselbrecht.
This family domaine run by Claude Gisselbrecht makes wines of amazing purity and minerality that never disappoint.
Founded in the 17th century the domaine became well known under the stewardship of Willy Gisselbrecht during the 1950’s. Based in Dambach la Ville they own over 17 hectares on the best soil in the area.
Claude is the youngest generation of this old family domaine and together with his brother they continue to work to the high standards set by their forefathers!
These are the wines, vintages and approximate retail prices from Willy Gisselbrecht et Fils we currently have available in the UK.
