Domaine André Scherer
ドメーヌ・アンドレ・シェレール
Family estate since 1780, atop Alsace's highest village
Domaine André Scherer, also known as Vignoble André Scherer, is a family wine estate in Husseren-les-Châteaux, Alsace — the highest wine-growing village on the Alsace Wine Route. The Scherer family has cultivated vines here since 1780, passing the estate from father to son for generations. Today Christophe Scherer, who trained in Burgundy, Bordeaux, and Australia, runs the 7-hectare domaine together with his wife Isabelle. Two hectares are classified Grand Cru, spread across the celebrated Eichberg, Goldert, and Pfersigberg vineyards on the slopes of Eguisheim. The estate produces the full range of Alsace AOC varietals — Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, Muscat, Sylvaner, and Auxerrois — alongside Alsace Grand Cru, Crémant d'Alsace, Vendanges Tardives, and Sélection de Grains Nobles bottlings. Visitors can taste in the domaine's 18th-century cellar, once part of a château belonging to a Baron of the Empire.
