Rott

As early as 745, the village of Rott, then called Chrodo, made its mark in history alongside the Wissembourg Abbey, to which it once belonged. Its vineyard, recognized for centuries, faced many challenges, notably during World War II and especially during the phylloxera invasion, a parasite that devastated European vines at the end of the 19th century. Despite this disaster, Rott managed to recover thanks to the solidarity of its winemakers, who joined forces with those from Cleebourg, Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg, and Steinseltz to create a wine cooperative. This initiative helped preserve an ancestral know-how and maintain the region's wine reputation. Today, Rott attracts visitors with its authenticity and viticultural heritage, embodying the resilience and passion of its inhabitants.
