DOMAINE JUNG GUSTAVE & FILS

More than 96 years of know-how

1st generations

The vine has been in the family for several generations before that, but it all starts with Olivier's grandparents, Camille and Amélie, who worked the family vineyards. The majority of the wine production was delivered to a village winemaker in bulk, but the beginnings of bottle sales were already being felt. It is only when Gustave took over the estate with his wife that they developed the commercialization of bottles, by selling their own cuvées.
Easter 1972

Opening of the first wine cellar in Riquewihr

Thanks to the success of Gustave's wines, the couple decided to open their first store in the center of the village of Riquewihr, in the family home "Le Gratte-ciel".

Opening of the second wine cellar in Riquewihr

In 1984, after his studies, Olivier Jung, the son, officially joined the family business. His arrival will be marked by the creation of a second store, which will be Olivier's. Still in the center of Riquewihr, this one is a traditional Alsatian cellar, with oak barrels for decoration.

2006

1st solo vinification

After the sudden loss of Gustave at the dawn of his 60th birthday, Olivier will make his first harvest and vinification alone in 2006. Since then, he vinifies each year his exceptional cuvées of Alsace wines, keeping in mind all the knowledge that was transmitted to him by his father and grandfather.

Dominique joins Olivier on the estate

Dominique fully joins Olivier on the estate and takes over the keys of the tasting cellar, which also offers wines by the glass.
