Maison Leon Beyer is one of the oldest wineries in Alsace and the family has owned vineyards at the picture-postcard village of Eguisheim since 1580. Maison Leon Beyer was founded in 1867 and is one of the Grandes Maisons d’Alsace, part negociant but also important land owner. For many years the driving force behind this House was the Leon Beyer. Without question he was one of those figures who helped raise the quality of Alsace wines, championing his cause through the world’s greatest restaurants. In charge today are his son Marc and grandson Yann, both qualified oenologists. The firm now has 20 hectares of vineyards, including small holdings in the Grands Crus Eichberg and Pfersigberg. Maison Beyer produces around a million bottles a year from all Alsace’s grape varieties.Today Leon Beyer produces an outstanding range of powerful, well-structured wines, including Gewurztraminers of great staying power and steely, pure Rieslings. The finest wine is the Cuvee des Comtes d'Eguisheim, which is one of Alsace's most concentrated and complex Gewurztraminers.https://www.leonbeyer.fr/
