Welcome to Domaine Marcel Deiss – Premium Wines from the Heart of Alsace

The Domaine Marcel Deiss winery is a gem of the Alsatian wine landscape. Located in Bergheim, a picturesque village along the Route des Vins d’Alsace, the winery is known for exceptional wines that uniquely reflect the terroir of the region.

The History and Philosophy of Domaine Marcel Deiss

The winery was founded in 1947 by Marcel Deiss, who had a vision: to create wines that perfectly capture the character of the soil and climate of the region. Today, the winery is run by Jean-Michel Deiss, the third generation of the family. His innovative approach and passion for traditional methods have made the winery renowned worldwide.

Biodynamic Cultivation: Respect for Nature

Domaine Marcel Deiss is renowned for its biodynamic cultivation. Without synthetic substances, a harmonious balance between vine and soil is created, allowing the vines to root deeply and fully absorb the minerals of the soil. This approach emphasizes the uniqueness of each terroir and produces authentic wines.

Complantation: Tradition Meets Innovation

One of the most distinctive practices of the winery is the so-called Complantation. This ancient tradition involves planting multiple grape varieties in a vineyard, which are harvested and vinified together. This creates complex and balanced wines that highlight the character of the terroir.

Alsace: A Region with Incomparable Terroir

The winery is located in the center of the "Champ de Failles de Ribeauvillé", a region known for its geological diversity. The vineyards cover 38 hectares and stretch across the municipalities of Rorschwihr, Ribeauvillé, Zellenberg, and others. The climate is continental, with hot summers and cool nights, providing ideal conditions for the slow ripening of the grapes.

The Characteristics of the Soil

The soils in this region are a mixture of limestone, clay, and sandstone. This composition allows for deep root formation and imparts unmistakable minerality to the wines.
