Since 1997, we have adopted biodinami, and are thoroughly particular about the relationship between grapes and soil. Thanks to Marcel Diess, like Burgundy, Grands Crus and Class 1 vineyards have recently been recognized in Alsace. His Grand Cru Chenenbourg, Mambourt and Altenberg de Berheim are priceless wines.

This [Altenburg de Bergheim] is a premium wine that represents Marcel Dice, which has been approved to be made by blending 13 types of traditional Alsace varieties.
Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Tokaj, Pinot Blanc, Chasselas, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Muscat...etc .
These 13 species are planted together in a 5ha field, expressing the terroir supremacy unique to Marcel Dice. Marcel Dais himself said, "This wine is a milestone in my life, declaring a break from the ideological domination of 'grape varieties rather than terroirs' that has so badly harmed Alsace over the past 100 years. things,” he says. The field is a mixed soil of iron-rich red clay lime and limestone. Noble rot encourages the grapes to fully ripen, creating a wine with overwhelming strength that has a rich flavor with condensed fruit flavors.
