Carl Weiss-Chenaux became an associate in G. C. Kessler & Cie. He and his descendants managed the company for six generations after Georg Christian von Kessler’s death in 1842. In the ten years since its foundation, KESSLER had sold a total of around half a million bottles of its sparkling wine. Apart from Württemberg and other German states, KESSLER’s other main markets were overseas.
