In the 1960’s, family farms depended on a diversity of crops to survive.
At that time, wine-growing made up only a small part of their business. The wine produced was purchased by dealers.
It was Alphonse, the family patriarch, who, around 1970, steered the business toward direct marketing and gradually increased the land holdings

In 1982, following his studies at the technical institute for wine-growing in Beaune, Maurice teamed up with his father and put into practice the knowledge he had acquired in school.

In 1988, he took over the winery, which has continued to flourish, built a new wine cellar, and renovated and updated the infrastructure to better meet his needs. Today, the vineyard stands on 9 hectares (22 acres) straddling the townships of Dahlenheim and Avolsheim.
