Trimbach Estate – A Legacy of Excellence in Alsace

A Historic Family Estate

The Trimbach estate is one of the most iconic names in Alsace winemaking. Established in Ribeauvillé in 1626, this family-run house has upheld a tradition of excellence for over twelve generations. Today, Pierre and Jean Trimbach, along with their children, continue to craft precise, elegant wines that embody the house’s core philosophy: purity, structure, and longevity. Through dedication to their exceptional terroirs, Trimbach wines have gained worldwide acclaim and are found on the finest tables across the globe.

Prestigious Terroirs for Exceptional Wines

Trimbach’s vineyards span approximately 50 hectares, covering some of Alsace’s finest terroirs around Ribeauvillé, including the Grand Crus Geisberg, Osterberg, and Schlossberg. These complex soils, composed of limestone, sandstone, and marl, impart remarkable minerality and precision to the wines. However, the estate’s most legendary cuvée is undoubtedly Clos Sainte Hune, a world-renowned Riesling from a single 1.67-hectare plot, considered one of the greatest white wines in the world.

A Rigorous Winemaking Approach for Pure and Precise Wines

Trimbach follows a meticulous, minimalist winemaking philosophy, ensuring that each wine fully expresses its terroir. Grapes are harvested at peak maturity and gently pressed to extract the purest juice. Fermentations take place in stainless steel tanks, with no malolactic fermentation, preserving the wines’ freshness and vibrant acidity. This precise approach results in wines of extraordinary purity and remarkable aging potential.

A Timeless Collection of Elegant Wines

The estate is particularly revered for its Rieslings, known for their structure, minerality, and aromatic depth. Riesling Cuvée Frédéric Émile, sourced from the Geisberg and Osterberg vineyards, is an undisputed benchmark, offering exceptional complexity and a long, elegant finish. The Gewurztraminer, vinified in a dry style, showcases precision with subtle spicy nuances. The Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc, both refined and fresh, complete a collection where every wine embodies the legacy and craftsmanship of Trimbach.

Trimbach, an Icon of Alsace Wines

Featured on the finest gastronomic tables and sought after by collectors, Trimbach wines invite wine lovers to experience the true essence of Alsace. With unwavering consistency and an enduring pursuit of excellence, the estate has remained true to its style for centuries. Tasting a Trimbach wine is a journey through Alsace’s most remarkable terroirs, offering wines crafted for both immediate pleasure and long-term aging.
