Julien Albertus farms 16 biodynamic hectares spread out on 70 small parcels around the area of Rosheim, northern Alsace. This domain was founded by Sophie and Philippe in 1990 and they have worked organic since the start. The name is a combination of the two areas which they have land at: Kumpf Molsheim and Meyer Rosenwiller. In 2010 when Phillippe left the domain, Julien replaced him and brought new energy and ideas. He started to work biodynamic in the vineyards, for him it’s the best way to work if you want to express the full potential of each terroir.

Julien loves drinking wine and since 2012 he has been making the ’Restons Nature’, unfiltered wines without any addition of sulfur. His other wines undergo a very light filtration and he adds a little sulfur during the bottling. This passionate winemaker listens to his wines and lets them take the time they need for aging and developing, all depending on vintage and terroir.
