History:
The Trimbach family has been making wines in the French
province of Alsace since 1626-- a remarkable succession
from father to son based on an unchanging devotion to
the wines of their beautiful corner of France. Run by
the 12th generation of the Trimbach family, Pierre makes
the wine and his younger brother Jean sells it. Pierre
Trimbach's wine making is impeccable and results in
firm, masculine, bone dry and richly fruity wines of
enormous breeding -- for some a yardstick by which to
judge all others in the region. The top selling brand
of Alsace wine in the United States.
