Marcel Deiss
Legacy of Alsace Complantation Wines
Forget single-grape thinking. Marcel Deiss crafts visionary Alsace wines from co-fermented Grand Cru plots, revealing the true voice of Altenberg, Burg, and Schoenenbourg. Biodynamic, boundary-pushing, and fiercely terroir-obsessed. Complantation is the art of mixing grape varieties in a terroir. It is the oldest form of viticulture known before the appearance of clones and the depletion of biodiversity. It ensures regular harvests by creating a complex and naturalist ecosystem. Conducted with a real respect for life, their vineyard is planted with the 13 Alsatian grape varieties, driven, harvested and pressed together, vinified with patience and without inputs.
