Le Maison Cattin

The beginning, in other words, the choice of wine as a destination

François CATTIN

At the end of the 17th century, François Cattin, born in Porrentruy, Switzerland, settled in this small Alsatian village Voegtlinshoffen, 10 kilometers south of Colmar. In 1720, François Cattin decided to become a winemaker in addition to his job as a builder. The next 11 generations continued his legacy and so the family business began!

Antoine CATTIN

Around 1850, Antoine CATTIN decided to focus exclusively on winemaking. He marked the beginning of the specialization that was continued by all his descendants. One of his sons, Joseph, took over the family estate.

Joseph CATTIN

At the end of the 19th century, the phylloxera plague began to seriously damage the Alsace vineyard. Joseph Cattin, who had successfully studied, devoted his time to the fight against this plague.

He became one of the pioneers of Alsatian viticulture by being awarded the diploma of «Vignoble modèle». His brother, Théodore, pursued gastronomy by founding the restaurant LA CIGOGNE in Paris.

Known for its famous Alsatian gastronomy, this place is well visited by both the Parisian upper class and many foreign guests. This place then became an excellent storefront to promote Alsatian wines from his brother Joseph.

Joseph Cattin as a brand was born!

Antoine CATTIN

After Joseph's death, his son Antoine took over the company, surrounded by 7 hectares of vineyards. Renowned winemaker for the quality of his fine wines, Antoine really took care of preserving the body and unique character that creates the originality of Alsatian wines.

Jacques Cattin's new breath at the turning point of the 21st century.

Jacques and Jean-Marie CATTIN

In 1978, Jacques and Jean-Marie, grandsons of Joseph Cattin, took over the family estate; Jacques, as manager, and Jean-Marie who manages the vineyards. Jacques began to modernize the Cattin Winery; a new dynamic has emerged. In 25 years, the means of production have been completely transformed and the vineyard is spread over 60 hectares.

The new generation and a dynamic winery that exports worldwide
