Domaine Albert Hertz
ドメーヌ・アルベール・ヘルツ
Biodynamic Grand Cru wines from Eguisheim since 1843
Founded in 1843 on the ramparts of the medieval village of Eguisheim, Domaine Albert Hertz is a family estate now run by Frédéric Hertz, who took over from his father Albert in 2019. The domaine farms 9.5 hectares across Eguisheim, Turckheim, Pfaffenheim and Soultzmatt, including parcels in three Grand Crus — Eichberg, Pfersigberg and Zinnkoepflé. Albert Hertz banned synthetic products as early as 1979, gained organic certification in 2008, and converted the whole estate to biodynamics, obtaining Demeter and Biodyvin certification from the 2011 vintage. Since 2015 the domaine has moved toward low-intervention, often unsulfited wines, championing a philosophy that wine "is made first in the vineyard, not in the cellar."
