Griesel & Compagnie

Baden sparkling wines from Pinot-focused traditional production.

Griesel & Compagnie operates in Baden, Germany's warmest wine region, where continental and Mediterranean influences create ideal conditions for sparkling wine production. The winery focuses on traditional méthode champenoise, drawing on Pinot varieties—Spätburgunder, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay—that thrive in Baden's terroir. The Grande Réserve, a blend of Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir, represents the house's signature approach to complexity and structure. The Pinot Brut Nature, made from Spätburgunder alone, showcases the varietal's mineral precision and depth. A third flagship, Blanc de Noirs DT, combines Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir for a darker, more textured expression. These wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Decanter, Falstaff, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast, reflecting the winery's standing within the German sparkling wine category.
