Domaine Brand et Fils

Domaine Brand et Fils

Alsace, France

A three-generation family estate in Ergersheim, at the heart of Alsace's Couronne d'Or near Strasbourg. Founded by Lucien Brand in 1956 as a polyculture farm with just 53 ares of vines, the domaine gradually specialized in viticulture through the 1970s. Today, under third-generation vigneron Philippe Brand, the estate farms 10 hectares of biodynamic vineyards across the communes of Ergersheim, Osthoffen, and Wolxheim, producing expressive natural wines that reflect the clay-limestone terroir of the Kefferberg hillside. Biodynamic preparations including horn manure and horn silica, applied with spring water drawn from the foot of the Vosges, strengthen soil fertility and microbial life.

Winemaking Philosophy

Philippe Brand practices a deep commitment to living wines and living soils. Certified organic since 2001 and Demeter biodynamic since 2015, the domaine embraces manual labor and traditional peasant farming—plowing by horse, hand-harvesting, and nurturing biodiversity. In the cellar, Philippe follows the SAINS philosophy: nothing added, nothing removed. Fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts, and the wines are neither fined nor filtered, with no sulfur added.
