Alsace Marcel Deiss

Our committee's review

Domaine Marcel Deiss isn’t just a reference in Alsace — it’s a name that stands at the cutting edge of French wine. Under the guidance of Jean-Michel Deiss, now joined by his son Mathieu, the estate produces wines of striking depth and elegance, made for those who appreciate nuance, complexity, and balance.

Farmed entirely under biodynamic principles, the domaine brings out the full character of Alsace’s diverse soils and grape varieties with rare precision. And with a move toward drier styles in recent vintages, the wines have reached new heights — more focused, more expressive, and more compelling than ever. Quite simply, a world-class benchmark.

Now awarded four stars by the Revue du Vin de France — one of the highest distinctions in French wine — this estate is a must for any serious wine lover. We've secured one of its finest cuvées, available exclusively to our most loyal members, and at the best possible price.

An absolute favourite of our Selection Committee, and rated 96/100 both by them and by Robert Parker, the 2020 Alsace Grand Cru Altenberg de Bergheim White is nothing short of phenomenal. Grown from a field blend of thirteen grape varieties planted on a slab of limestone, this wine is a masterclass in purity and complexity. It opens with luxurious aromas of candied grapes and syrupy mirabelle plum. On the palate, it's broad, dense, and silky, with a rich, almost liqueur-like texture that coats the mouth — beautifully lifted by a dynamic mineral streak that brings balance and freshness. Everything is in place for a truly exceptional experience: depth, finesse, and a grand cru-level finish that goes on and on. This 2020 vintage is sun-kissed without being heavy, generous yet precise, and ready to drink now — though it will evolve beautifully over the next five years or more. A perfect match? Try it with classic foie gras on toast, or branch out into spiced Asian cuisine — wok-fried prawns with lemongrass and ginger, or lacquered poultry dishes.

One of Deiss’s most iconic cuvées — and available at the best possible price. A must for any serious wine lover.
