A Rising Star in Alsace

Philippe Kubler is the third generation of winemakers who bottle wine under the label of Paul Kubler. Philippe's pedigree is impressive; he has a degree in oenology from Bordeaux and after that spent time with Denis Debordieu, probably the best known white wine consultant in Bordeaux. Afterwards he went to work in both  Burgundy and New Zealand before returning to Alsace.

Philippe works traditionally and Paul Kubler's wines have taken a huge leap forward in quality after he took over.  Philippe works organically, observing certain bio dynamic practices. He is not certified, and intends to remain so as he feels that his clients should be able to trust his integrity as a winemaker. He doesn't wish to be constrained by the impositions of certification bodies, or to pay for certification. All vines are picked by hand. Vinification takes place in old foudres. Philippe allows plenty of time on lees and uses battonage.

Kubler has a well constructed range of products where the entry line is denoted "K". They are generally at a very high level, and always rewarded with high scores by the French wine press.
