Domaine Christian Dolder
ドメーヌ・クリスチャン・ドルデール
Family-run estate in Mittelbergheim crafting authentic Alsace wines since 1849.
Located in the picturesque village of Mittelbergheim, Alsace, Domaine Christian Dolder is a family-run estate spanning approximately 6.5 hectares (16 acres). The Dolder family originally came from Switzerland, settling near Hohwald around 1645; an ancestor named Christian Dolder moved to Mittelbergheim in 1849, and the estate is now run by the 5th generation of the family. They are independent winemakers handling every step from cultivation to marketing, producing the full range of Alsace varietals, including Crémant d'Alsace and Vendanges Tardives (late harvest) wines from the Zotzenberg Grand Cru. They prioritize environmentally friendly viticulture, hand-harvesting, and traditional aging in wooden foudres and stainless steel tanks. The domaine also operates guest rooms (chambres d'hôtes) overlooking the vineyards, the Vosges mountains, and the Alsace plain.
