BESTHEIM

Located in the middle of the vineyard haut-rhinois at two steps of Colmar, Bestheim, founded in 1765 has two production sites located at Bennwihr for the still wines and Westhalten for Crémants of Alsace. Counting on a vineyard of 700 ha exploited by 200 vine growers impassioned by their trade, Bestheim is a company particularly committed in the safeguarding of the environment and is invested every day in this method at the same time in the vineyard as within the company (fight reasoned, recycling, valorization of waste, powerful insulation, energy saving, installation of solar-fired heater, car sharing of the employees, selection of its suppliers according to their “green” engagement,…). Bestheim produces all the range of the wines of Alsace going from Crémants to the seven Alsatian type of vines among which the wines of reserves are declined, medal-holders, localities, Grand crus as well as famous Vendanges Tardives.
In 2008, Bestheim decided to diversify its productions while settling in the Bordelais vineyard in order to reinforce its trading positions. Bestheim at present exploits three castle (Château le Luc Régula, Château De Caillavet, Château Fillon) on approximately 180 hectares of vineyards.
