In the 2003 Germany cataloge Terry Thiese included the following about the
Christeffel/Eymael relationship:
Having no heirs on the horizon,
he has leased his vineyards and winery to Robert Eymael (from Mönchhof).
This does not signal
the demise of Weingut Joh. Jos. Christoffel. Eymael intends to keep the two
sets of wines strictly
separate, harvested separately (even pressed in Christoffel’s press and
vinified in his casks) and
marketed under the current label to me, with Hans Leo as
consulting something-or-other!
It sounds like the relationship is somewhere between the two prior notes.
