Where are Jean-Luc Mader wines made?

Jean-Luc Mader wines are produced in the Alsace region of northeastern France, a renowned wine-growing area nestled between the Vosges Mountains and the Rhine River. This region is known for its varied microclimates and mineral-rich soils, which contribute to the distinctive flavours and aromatic qualities of the wines. Jean-Luc Mader’s vineyards are located on some of the finest terroirs in the area, including the Rosacker Grand Cru, which is famed for producing wines of exceptional depth and minerality. The vineyard sites benefit from ample sunshine and cooler temperatures, which help retain the natural acidity in the grapes while allowing them to develop concentrated flavours. The winery’s commitment to sustainable practices, including minimal intervention in both the vineyard and cellar, ensures that the wines reflect the true essence of Alsace.

What are the best Jean-Luc Mader wines?

Among the best wines produced by Jean-Luc Mader, the Riesling Grand Cru Rosacker stands out as a top choice.

The Gewürztraminer is another standout, offering an explosion of tropical fruit, lychee, rose petals, and a hint of spice, all balanced by a subtle sweetness.
