The Domaine Armand Landmann is located on the Wine Route, in Nothalten, Alsace. Armand
Landmann is already the third generation of wine grower settled at this location. At each generation,
the vineyard has grown. Today, the total surface area is approximately 12 ha. The ideal position of the
Domaine enables Armand Landmann to produce diverse wine grapes on diverse soils.
The entire Alsace wine portfolio is represented by the Sylvaner, the Riesling and the Pinot Noir. Each
vine is planted on an adapted soil, which enables Armand Landmann to create complex and fine wines.
On the top of the “Lieux-Dit” Heissenberg – the warm mountain – and the Zellberg, he harvests around
one hectare of Grand Cru Muenchberg. This Grand Cru is ideally a south-exposed valley with soil made
of old sediments from 250 million years ago (puddingstone, conglomerates and breaches). Monks
already harvested grapes there during the 12th century. Riesling has ever been the preferred grape
variety in Muenchberg.
However, all these diverse wines are created with the same mindset: producing enjoyment and
pleasure during the tasting. Thus, in the Sylvaner “Quintessence”, one can find some residual sugar
that makes it round but enjoyable, thanks to its remaining acidity and its tropical fruit aromas. In
addition, the Pinot Noir Praemium, grown in Demi-Muid casks, expresses black fruits and a spicy
aroma. To reach a high-level wine quality target, wines are produced in a strict and special way. All the
Domaine harvesting is manual, grape yields are voluntarily limited – 30 hL/ha for the Pinot Noir
Praemium, the maturation time in oak barrels is extended – up to 18 months for this same wine. All
the wines are produced in a sustainable manner. Therefore, the Domaine is certified according to the
French label "Haute Valeur Environnementale 3". The production of such certified wines reaches around 100.000 bottles per year.
