Domaine André Rohrer
アンドレ・ロレール
Eighth-generation biodynamic winemakers of Mittelbergheim
Domaine André Rohrer is an eighth-generation family estate in Mittelbergheim, Alsace, now led by siblings Ludovic and Charline Rohrer alongside their father André. The family began moving away from chemical treatments as early as the 1960s, achieved organic certification in 2001, and has farmed biodynamically (Demeter) since 2016. Their roughly 8 hectares are spread across the villages of Eichoffen, Mittelbergheim, and Barr, including a parcel in the Zotzenberg Grand Cru, growing Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Noir, Sylvaner, and Muscat. Grapes are hand-harvested and aged in traditional old Alsatian oak foudres, with most dry cuvées bottled unfiltered and without added sulfur, resulting in pure, terroir-driven wines that are part of a small circle of natural winemakers reshaping Mittelbergheim's reputation for vibrant, low-intervention Alsace wine.
