ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
Being that the region had been famous for its wines since the Middle Ages they immediately planted vines and began the viticultural legacy that continues today. The Domain is named for Joseph Cattin who became renowned for his pioneering work in grafting that, at the end of the 19th century, is widely credited for saving some of Alsace's best vineyards from phylloxera. The nose has apple and floral aromas, whilst the palate has notes of pear, lemon and honey finishing with green apple skins.
