As part of our annual events, theme 2025 "The Rhine Graben: natural subsoil resources in Northern Alsace...".
The subsoil of northern Alsace is also ideal for growing vines. There are indeed vineyards in northern Alsace, even if the famous Alsatian Wine Route, more traditionally known, starts in Marlenheim, much further south.
In 1889, Lampertsloch, the birthplace of black gold, already boasted a large vineyard covering 16 hectares. The first stage of this outing takes us to this village. And more precisely, to a symbolic local landmark, "S'Rabhiesel", or the vine-guard's cottage. The guide will also reveal that a certain Jean-Baptiste Boussingault, from the family of oil industrialists, also has a link with the vineyard.
The next stop on this outing is the Cleebourg vineyard, the largest in the area at 200 hectares. Here, a member of the winery (one of the 140 cooperative members) will welcome you to reveal the secrets of the grape varieties and their links with the local subsoil.
At the end of the visit, you can of course take the opportunity to discover the Cave's finished products and, if you wish, go shopping!
Speakers: Daniel RODIER, museum guide (specialist in the history of Pechelbronn) and a winegrower from the Cave vinicole de Cleebourg.
