History
The Jean-Baptiste Adam family has been working relentlessly in the vineyards and in the cellar since 1614, which makes us one of the rare family estates who can claim 400 years of history in wine making.
Viticulture from father to son for 14 generations, the Jean Baptiste Adam estate cultivates the art of wine making and wine sales in Ammerschwihr, Alsace. The "Book of Gourmet" stands as a precious testimony to the pursuit of winemaking, one that Jean Baptiste Adam, the patriarch, still enjoys consulting.
1614 : foundation of the estate by Jean Baptiste ADAM, "gourmet-winemaker". At the time, restaurants came to Ammerschwihr to taste the wines of Jean-Baptiste Adam in order to find the perfect match for their meals. The “gourmet-winemaker”, expert and trustworthy, would serve as consultant, and broker, to guide them through the vineyards of Alsace. This official occupation, introduced during the Middle-Ages, only existed in the region of Alsace. Today, the occupation has disappeared, but the winemaking philosophy remains focused on gastronomic excellence.
