Bestheim is a winemaking cooperative, resulting from successive mergers of 4 Alsace wineries. The history of Bestheim started in the village of Bennwihr, the stronghold of the famous Moon Chasers. These determined, independent and bold individuals have raised the bar of their ambitions ever higher. Their nickname, the origin of which has been lost in the mists of time, now designates all those who have joined the winery and adhere to its vision. Their dream? To reach for the moon and create great Alsace wines and Crémants. Their wines, authentic, sincere and true to the terroir, offer an exciting sensory experience. We are now one of the leading and oldest producers and of Cremants.
