Yves Dietrich and his sons Pierre and Jean have created a true microcosm, unique and contagious.
Yves is responsible for the vineyard, Jean takes care of the cellar and Pierre takes care of the commercial part.
In 1991 Yves decided to take over the family farm, which he converted to organic in 1999 before the big leap into the biodynamic world in 2003.
In 2017, a bioclimatic cellar was created inside the largest thatched building in Europe, shared with the Domaine Jean Paul Schmitt.
The company has 18 hectares and the wines are precise and direct, engaging and clear.
