The winemaker

Paul, the grandfather, passed on his know-how to his two sons, André and Louis. Together, they created Domaine Mittnacht Frères in 1963. Today, the Mittnacht family owns 23 hectares of vines on the best terroirs of Hunawihr, Ribeauvillé and Mittelwihr: - 309 ares of Lieu dit Muehlforst in Hunawihr - 293 ares of Grand Cru Rosacker in Hunawihr - 85 ares of Grand Cru Osterberg in Ribeauvillé - 40 ares of Grand Cru Mandelberg in Mittelwihr/Beblenheim - 40 ares of Clos Wilhelmine in Hunawihr - Monopole - 30 ares Clos La Courtille in Hunawihr - Monopole Average annual production at Domaine Mittnacht Frères is around 145,000 bottles. The Domaine exports 35% of its production to many countries in Europe, North America and Asia. Since 1995, André's son Marc (52) and Louis' son Christophe (50), both graduates in oenology, have given the company a new impetus. The two cousins have been managing their vineyards with respect for the environment for several years. No synthetic products are used in the vineyard, the natural cycle of the vine and its terroir are respected, the grapes are harvested and sorted entirely by hand, there is minimal intervention in the cellar, and no oenological products are used (apart from a minimum of sulfur), in order to respect the quality of the grapes. Since 1999, this philosophy has naturally led them to commit their estate to organic and biodynamic viticulture, which best respects the environment, the health of consumers and, above all, the personality and identity of wines from the great appellations d'origine controlée. This approach is certified by Ecocert, an inspection body approved by the French Ministry of Agriculture. Christophe and Marc Mittnacht's wines are regularly cited in reference guides and magazines - the Guide Hachette des Vins de France ; La revue des Vins de France ; Cuisine et Vins de France ; Gault et Millau, Wine magazine, Johnson , Decanter...
