Domaine Mittnacht is a family-run estate founded by brothers André and Louis in 1958. Currently led by Marc Mittnacht (son of André), his wife Paule, and their son Pierre, the estate farms some of the finest vineyards in the commune of Hunawihr, one of the most beautiful villages in France—a place befitting their elegant, beautifully-made wines that are expressions of traditional Alsace varietals. The winery produces around 145,000 bottles annually, where 35% of its vintages are exported to European countries, North America, and Asia.
The quintessential Alsatian white wines and sparkling wines of Domaine Mittnacht Freres are regularly quoted in wine guides and reference journals. The vineyards spreading over the best terroirs of Hunawihr and Ribeauvillé employ organic and biodynamic agriculture since 1999, becoming one of the earliest to be officially certified in all of Alsace. Factors such as the diversity of plots comprising the vineyard, the characteristics of soil and environment, and the passion to perform as naturally as possible have led the family to engage in organic farming.
The estate uses no synthetic products to let the flora and fauna flourish. Intricate biodynamic preparations and practices involving solar/lunar rhythms and strict vineyard and cellar calendars are followed to produce original, terroir-driven wines—an approach certified by the French Ministry of Agriculture via Ecocert. Marc and his family’s care for their vines and wines serves a threefold purpose: to guarantee a healthy product, to enhance the natural self-defense of vines, and to preserve the terroir and originality of the appellation. This legacy that will be then handed down to the next generation Mittnacht ensures that future wine drinkers can enjoy the privilege of discovering the exquisitely unique wines of Alsace.
