Domaine Horcher
ドメーヌ・オルシェール
Four-generation family estate spanning three Alsace Grand Crus
Domaine Horcher is a small family-run estate in Mittelwihr, on the Alsace Wine Route between Riquewihr and Colmar. Founded in 1920 by Alfred Horcher with a single hectare of vines, the domaine is now in its fourth generation, run since 2014 by siblings Thomas and Lise Horcher. The estate has grown to 11 hectares spread across six communes and roughly forty parcels, planted with Riesling, Sylvaner, Auxerrois, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. Vines are farmed under agriculture raisonnée and are in conversion toward organic certification. Holdings include parcels in three Grand Crus — Mandelberg in Mittelwihr, Sporen in Riquewihr, and Kaefferkopf in Ammerschwihr — from which the domaine produces tradition, selection and grand cru cuvées, as well as Crémant d'Alsace, including a 100% Pinot Noir rosé. The Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Mandelberg has been rated 97/100 by Decanter.
