A wine maker family in the center of Colmar
1630
Historiquement parlant
The first occurence of the family name Jund is ascertained in a 1630custom chronicle of Colmar: “In September, Martin Jund, winemaker, found in Wettolsheim a bunch of grapes three quarter of an ell long. Part of the grape was mature, while the other one was in blossom.”
From then, fourteen generations of wine growers have come and gone. Today, the Domaine Martin Jund grows a 18 hectares vineyard around Colmar including the Brand great vintage in Turckheim, Schlossberg in Kientzheim Kaefferkopf in Ammerschwihr and Marckrain in Bennwihr.
Martin Jund
(1888 - 1973)
After a quarter of a century spent in Morocco, mainly in market gardening, Martin Jund, the 5th of his name, (1888-1973) and his wife, née Kopp, took over the operation of the Alsatian family vineyard in 1948, and bought numerous plots on the Hardt of Colmar which they managed to group into four large lots with a total area of 7 hectares.
Annie Jund
(1924 - 2008)
When Martin Jund died in 1973, his daughter Annie Jund, born in 1924, separated from her husband Jean-Pierre Ducros, born in 1924, took over the estate. Farm manager from 1973 to 1980, she perpetuated the vineyard and opted, in 1970, for bottling, in the family house, rue de l'Ange, one of the first to display its beautiful half-timberings, at the time when the plastering was falling. , ashamed of the particularism of the local habitat.
André & Myriam
Since 1980, André Ducros, born in 1956, the son of Annie Jund, and his wife Myriam Wolfersperger, born in 1956, originally from Michelbach near Cernay, have taken over the operation. Both, holders of a BTAG obtained in Rouffach, currently work 18 ha, from Turkheim to Benwihr, via Katzenthal, Ammerschwihr, Kaysersberg and Kientzheim. The operation, located in the heart of Colmar, where the vat room is located, the storage and the sales cellar, doubles as an activity of rooms to rent, a not so ancillary activity, since it represents approximately a third of the income, the wine activity constituting the other two thirds.The Junds sell well every year , a year around 60,000 bottles are sold almost exclusively at the estate. part of the production is delivered in organic grapes and part in bulk.
