Domaine Achillée: Biodynamic excellence in Alsace

Our Vision of Biodynamic Viticulture

Boldness and authenticity are at the heart of our approach to winemaking. We make wines without complexes, true to our convictions, for your pleasure as well as ours.

The vine is the focus of all our attention. Our approach naturally favors small yields to encourage optimal grape quality, in perfect harmony with nature's cycles.

The Dietrich family has anchored its ecological convictions at the very heart of its wine-making. Our aim is simple: to minimize our environmental impact while revealing the quintessence of our terroir. Passionate about our grape varieties and deeply attached to respect for the living, we invite you to discover a different vision of viticulture.

Whether you're a lover of natural wines, in search of viticulture in harmony with the environment, or simply curious to discover a new approach to wine, come and share our Achillée philosophy.

From Vine to Wine: Our Natural Approach

Jean is the guardian of our precious nectars on the family estate. In his subterranean kingdom, each vat is pampered like a treasure, playing an essential role in the creation of our singular wines. From stainless steel vats to majestic foudres and intimate barriques, each container brings its own unique signature to our wines, offering a palette of expressions to satisfy every sensibility.

Innovation in the service of tradition: our winery naturally maintains a constant temperature of 14 degrees throughout the year, without the use of heating or air conditioning. These optimal conditions guarantee ideal conservation of our wines, with the utmost respect for the environment.

Our minimalist approach favors authenticity. Fermentations take place spontaneously using our in-house sourdoughs, made exclusively from our own grapes. True to our philosophy of minimal intervention, we limit the use of sulfur to simple homeopathic doses, only if necessary during bottling.

A Family Team Passionate about Natural Wine

Domaine Achillée in Alsace is the result of a family effort by three talented people who are convinced by organic viticulture.

Yves, the father, brings a wealth of experience in vine-growing. Jean and Pierre, the children, leave plenty of room for nature in their approach. With a background in viticulture and oenology, Jean is in charge of vinification. Pierre, a graduate of a business school in Paris, is in charge of sales. For them, the wines must express the identity of each terroir.
