Domaine Marcel Deiss: The Alsace Rebel

Marcel Deiss revolutionized Alsace by replanting field blends (multiple varieties per vineyard) in the 1980s — his biodynamic 32 hectares define Bergheim's mineral identity.

What to do there

WineryDomaine Marcel Deiss: The Alsace RebelJean-Michel Deiss broke Alsace's varietal rules by planting multiple grape varieties together (complantation) and naming wines by terroir, not grape. His Pinot Noir grows alongside Riesling and Gewurztraminer in the same plots. The resulting wines defy categorization - and changed Alsace law.
