Mambourg: a region steeped in history

Located on the hills of Sigolsheim, the Grand Cru Mambourg benefits from a southern exposure over 61.85 hectares, stretching nearly 1.3 km up the hillside. This terroir has been recognized since 783, a time when the wines of the "Sigoltesberg" were already renowned, thanks in particular to the local convents and lords who owned them.

Soil and climate conducive to exceptional wines

The Mambourg is based on a calcimagnesian soil, composed of limestone conglomerates and tertiary marls, offering a unique mineral richness. Its southern exposure guarantees optimal sunshine, promoting perfect ripening of the grapes and giving the wines remarkable power and aromatic complexity.
