About Georges Lorentz
The Gustave Lorentz family, has been making wine since 1836 in the heart of the Alsace, in the northeast corner of France, along the Rhine River. It is that same passion that drives Georges, the sixth generation of the Lorentz family to work in the Alsace wine industry. After 5 years at the viticulture school of Beaune, he studied international wine trade and management and gained experience while in various internships abroad.
Headquartered in the medieval village of Bergheim, 10km North of Colmar, Georges Lorentz oversees the production and export of nearly 1.7 million bottles of wines, making Gustave Lorentz one of the largest family-owned producers in Alsace. Georges shares his time between working in the cellars of Bergheim and passionately promoting the great white (and a few red) wines of the Domaine Gustave Lorentz. Georges cycles regularly both in the Alsace valley and the Vosges mountains, and loves to ski in winter.
