Allimant-Laugner
The Domaine Allimant-Laugner is located in Orschwiller, in the heart of the Alsace Wine Route, at the foot of the historic Château du Haut-Koenigsbourg. Its history dates back to the 17th century, when the Laugner and Allimant families began cultivating vines respectively in Dieffenthal and Saint-Hippolyte. In 1816, Captain François-Antoine Allimant purchased the current estate, where winemaking had already been taking place since 1724, as evidenced by the pediment of the historic cellar. Today, after more than eleven generations, the family continues to enhance the Alsatian wine heritage, producing wines that best express the local terroirs. With its 12 hectares of vineyard, the Domaine represents a reference point for those seeking authenticity and tradition in Alsace, with a constant focus on quality and respect for the environment.
