Schroedel
Cremant d’Alsace | France
The winery was founded in 1614 by Jean Baptiste
Adam. Ownership has been traditionally passed down from father to
son, from generation to generation. Today, the founder’s namesake,
Jean Baptiste, is the current owner and general director of the
estate. Jean Baptiste incorporates his knowledge gained from
studying winemaking in Burgundy and business in Strasbourg with all
that four centuries of tradition has taught him. The Adam estate is
in the village of Ammerschwihr, which enjoys an exceptional
microclimate of sunny, warm and dry days that guarantees ideal
conditions for growing grapes. The region also receives the least
amount of yearly rainfall, only about 500mm per year. This ensures
gradual ripening of the grapes creating extremely aromatic wines.
The wines of Adam come from slopes with optimum exposure to
sunlight. The vineyards are geologically varied consisting of
gneiss, granite, limestone, shale and sandstone. Schroedel is a
family name and pays homage to a founding family of the winery.
