Tasting note:
Refreshing and richly aromatic wine from the Grand Cru vineyards of Alsace. Intense perfume of exotic fruit, with lychee in the leading role, spices and flowers such as roses. Sultry, seductive and a long lasting taste.
The beginning, in other words, the choice of wine as a destination
François CATTIN
At the end of the 17th century, François Cattin, born in Porrentruy, Switzerland, settled in this small Alsatian village Voegtlinshoffen, 10 kilometers south of Colmar. In 1720, François Cattin decided to become a winemaker in addition to his job as a builder. The next 11 generations continued his legacy and so the family business began!
Antoine CATTIN
Around 1850, Antoine CATTIN decided to focus exclusively on winemaking. He marked the beginning of the specialization that was continued by all his descendants. One of his sons, Joseph, took over the family estate.
Joseph CATTIN
At the end of the 19th century, the phylloxera plague began to seriously damage the Alsace vineyard. Joseph Cattin, who had successfully studied, devoted his time to the fight against this plague.
He became one of the pioneers of Alsatian viticulture by being awarded the diploma of «Vignoble modèle». His brother, Théodore, pursued gastronomy by founding the restaurant LA CIGOGNE in Paris.
Known for its famous Alsatian gastronomy, this place is well visited by both the Parisian upper class and many foreign guests. This place then became an excellent storefront to promote Alsatian wines from his brother Joseph.
Joseph Cattin as a brand was born!
Joseph-Cattin-in-the-Vineyard
Antoine CATTIN
After Joseph's death, his son Antoine took over the company, surrounded by 7 hectares of vineyards. Renowned winemaker for the quality of his fine wines, Antoine really took care of preserving the body and unique character that creates the originality of Alsatian wines.
Jacques Cattin's new breath at the turning point of the 21st century.
Jacques and Jean-Marie CATTIN
In 1978, Jacques and Jean-Marie, grandsons of Joseph Cattin, took over the family estate; Jacques, as manager, and Jean-Marie who manages the vineyards. Jacques began to modernize the Cattin Winery; a new dynamic has emerged. In 25 years, the means of production have been completely transformed and the vineyard is spread over 60 hectares.
The new generation and a dynamic winery that exports worldwide
Jacques CATTIN Junior
In 2007, Jacques Junior joined the company after studying agronomy and viticulture. Working with his father, Jacques Cattin Senior, Jacques Junior took charge of the winemaking and financial department. His wife, Anaïs, graduated from a prestigious business school, and with strong experience in international trade, she joined the company in 2012.
