More About The Winery
Domaine Marcel Deiss is one of Alsace’s most distinctive and influential estates, located in the village of Bergheim. The Deiss family has been growing vines since the 18th century, but the modern identity of the domaine was shaped by Jean-Michel Deiss, who redefined the estate with a strong focus on terroir expression and traditional Alsatian practices. Today, he works alongside his son Mathieu Deiss.
The estate farms around 30 hectares across Bergheim and surrounding villages, including several Grand Cru sites. All vineyards are cultivated organically and biodynamically, with meticulous attention to soil life and biodiversity. The philosophy is centered on expressing the identity of each vineyard rather than highlighting individual grape varieties.
Domaine Marcel Deiss is especially known for reviving the traditional Alsatian practice of complantation, where multiple grape varieties are planted together in the same parcel, harvested at the same time, and vinified as a single wine. This approach enhances complexity and allows the terroir to take precedence over varietal character.
The wines are known for their texture, depth, and strong mineral backbone, ranging from accessible Alsace bottlings to highly expressive lieux-dits and Grand Cru wines. Domaine Marcel Deiss is widely regarded as a benchmark producer for terroir-driven, biodynamic wines in Alsace.
