Producer Overview: Domaine Rolly Gassmann
Nestled in the picturesque village of Rorschwihr, Domaine Rolly Gassmann embodies centuries of winemaking excellence. With a lineage tracing back to 1611, this esteemed estate masters sustainable, organic, and biodynamic methods (though not officially certified) to produce wines that perfectly express the region’s unique terroir. The vineyard’s location, spread over 51 hectares, thrives under a diverse geological tapestry composed of 21 distinct soil types, primarily limestone, contributing to the wine’s complex character.
A Unique Alsace Terroir
Rolly Gassmann’s vineyards benefit from the exceptional microclimate of Rorschwihr—a historic winemaking village revered for its unique soil diversity, including Triassic Vosges sandstone and glacial deposits. These factors, combined with influences from the nearby Vosges mountains, create conditions perfect for cultivating late-ripening varieties like Riesling. Since as early as 742 AD, this terroir has been celebrated by royalty and revered for producing exceptional wines.
Unraveling the Rolly Gassmann Riesling
The Rolly Gassmann Riesling de Rorschwihr Cuvée Yves Vendanges Tardives is a tribute to the tradition of Alsace Vendanges Tardives wines. Crafted from 100% Riesling grapes harvested at peak ripeness (often in October), this late-harvest wine exhibits bold flavors concentrated with the noble rot of Botrytis cinerea. Fermented naturally with indigenous yeasts over 4–6 months, each bottle is a testament to the wine’s origin and craftsmanship.

The wine’s silky texture and persistent length underscore its elegance, making it a luxurious experience from start to finish.
Perfect Pairings

Alternatively, delight in its flavors as an indulgent aperitif or complement to fruit-based desserts. With a serving temperature of 8–10°C, every sip unfolds gracefully.
The Art of Vendanges Tardives
Alsace’s Vendanges Tardives wines are revered for their rich, aromatic complexity. The Rolly Gassmann Cuvée Yves upholds this legacy, offering an intoxicating blend of sweetness and acidity that promises unrivaled aging potential.
A Testament to Patience and Craftsmanship
Rolly Gassmann wines are bottled only upon reaching perfect maturation, often several years after their initial creation. This dedication ensures that each release is a harmonious blend of complexity and maturity, offering a wine that evolves gracefully with age.
