Domaine Sohler Les Vigneronnes

ドメーヌ・ゾレール・レ・ヴィニュロンヌ

Renamed in 2024 to honor its women winemakers

Domaine Sohler Les Vigneronnes is a family estate in Nothalten, on the Alsace Wine Route between Haut-Koenigsbourg and Mont Sainte-Odile. Vine-growing Sohlers have worked this corner of Alsace for centuries — some records trace the lineage back to the 15th century, with the estate marketing wine under its own label since the 1960s. Long known as Domaine Philippe Sohler, it was renamed in 2024 to honor its first all-female generation of winemakers, sisters Lydie and Marine Sohler, and is now led by Marine alongside her parents Philippe and Christine. Farming roughly 11-12 hectares across about 60 parcels, the domaine draws on an unusually diverse patchwork of soils: the volcano-sedimentary Grand Cru Muenchberg (first planted by Cistercian monks in the 12th century), sandstone Heissenberg, loess-rich Fronholz, marl-sandstone Zellberg, and schist Clos Rebberg. Certified organic since the 2021 vintage and moving toward biodynamic practice, the family works each parcel — and each vine — individually, using lunar cycles and placing parent rock beneath their tanks to let the terroir speak. Their philosophy: wine is made in the vineyard, and vinification exists only to preserve the purity of the fruit. The range also includes traditional-method Crémant d'Alsace from the estate's seven grape varieties.
