Domaine Robert Karcher et Fils

About this audio guide

This guide to the Karcher family's wine estate in old-town Colmar follows a puzzle in its own paperwork: two sources disagree on exactly when twin brothers Pierre and Gilles took over from their father Georges. It traces the family through a sixteen-oh-two farmhouse and centuries of tending vines before the place became a winery, up to Robert Karcher's nineteen fifty-six decision to formalize the estate. Listen from the courtyard, beside the oldest working cellar in Colmar.
