Domaine Joseph Cattin has cultivated vines in Voegtlinshoffen, Haut-Rhin, since 1720, farming 52 hectares of clay-limestone and sandstone soils across the Vosges foothills slopes. This Crémant d'Alsace is a equal blend of hand-picked Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois, two grape varieties historically rooted in Alsatian winemaking tradition.

Produced by méthode traditionnelle, the wine undergoes its first fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel, followed by a minimum of 12–15 months on lees in bottle, surpassing the AOC requirement. Bottled in brut style at 12% ABV.

Se trata de un Crémant d'Alsace Brut elaborado por la bodega Joseph Cattin, situada en Voegtlinshoffen, Alsacia. La familia Cattin lleva produciendo vino en esta localidad desde 1720. Los viñedos se ubican en las laderas del macizo de los Vosgos, sobre suelos compuestos por arcilla calcárea y arenisca.

La composición de la uva se equilibra al 50% Pinot Blanc y al 50% Auxerrois, ambas vendimiadas a mano. El proceso de elaboración se rige por la méthode traditionnelle: tras una primera fermentación en acero inoxidable, el vino realiza una crianza sobre lías en botella durante un periodo de 12 a 15 meses, superando así el tiempo mínimo exigido por la AOC. El producto final presenta un estilo brut con una graduación alcohólica del 12%.

En cuanto a su valoración, Wine Enthusiast ha otorgado a este vino una puntuación de 91 puntos.

Se trata de una referencia tradicional de la región, que combina la herencia familiar de más de tres siglos con una crianza sobre lías que supera los requisitos oficiales, ofreciendo una base sólida dentro de los espumosos franceses de Alsacia.

Learn more about Joseph Cattin

The family is not from there. François Cattin left Porrentruy, in Switzerland, settled in Voegtlinshoffen and turned to wine in 1720. Around 1850 Antoine Cattin committed the house fully to the vine. The twelfth generation runs it today.

The name on the label is Joseph Cattin, who lived from 1882 to 1963. He was a pioneer of grafting during the phylloxera crisis, which is how European viticulture was saved: the aphid killed the European vine at the root and the only way out was to graft it onto resistant American rootstock. Locally he was known as the king of muscat.

Voegtlinshoffen lies less than ten kilometres south-west of Colmar and has eighty-seven hectares under vine. A quarter of that is classified Grand Cru Hatschbourg, which the village shares with neighbouring Hattstadt.

There are documentary references to that site from 1188: it had been giving wine for more than five hundred years by the time the Cattins arrived from Switzerland.
