Alsace Wine - Buy Wine from the Alsace Region of France

The tranquil town of Turckheim, just west of Colmar in the Fecht river valley, is idyllically pretty, bestrewn with flowers and fountains and half-timbered houses surrounded by a vista of vines. It is hard to imagine that this was once a military stronghold and a key strategic vantage point. A force of 20,000 French led by Henri de la Tour d’Auvergne defeated an Imperial army of three times the manpower here in 1675, which is commemorated by an obelisk and a statue.

Military history aside, the other incentive to visit the foothills of the Voges mountains is to sample the wines that are produced on the vertiginous vineyards. Charles Schléret has devoted his working life to producing the finest wines that he can from the full gamut of Alsace’s grape varieties. All of Charles’ wines have distinct varietal character and are classics of their genre, garnering myriad medals from wine fairs across Europe.
