Winery Mönchhof
The Mönchhof vineyard in Ürzig is one of the oldest vineyards on the Moselle. Pope Alexander III confirmed the ownership of the vineyards in Ürzig to the Cistercian abbey of Himmerod back in 1177. It was at this time that the monks built the vaulted cellar that still exists today. The current winery building dates back to 1509, when the Eymael family bought the estate at an auction in Paris after secularisation under Napoleon (1804).
“We have been growing grapes in Schloßböckelheim for 7 generations. For us, sustainability means treating people and the environment in such a way that we will still be able to do so in seven generations’ time.”

Philosophy
A symbiosis of French elegance, traditional craftsmanship and innovative thinking. In doing so, the company always returns to its roots. Even deeper, to the diverse soils in which these roots grow. And soils are volatile, as anyone who has travelled the infamous Dust Belt or seen gullies in fertile farmland after a summer thunderstorm knows. This is why the Klein & Sohn winery favours the careful use of resources, the promotion of biodiversity through a wide range of greenery in the vineyard and the targeted questioning of the status quo. So that the best can be teased out of every type of soil.
