The story
The Deiss family came to Bergheim in 1744 and took up grape growing in the area shortly afterward.
The current domaine was started in 1947 by Marcel Deiss after returning from the Second World War.
The estate is currently run by the grandson of the founder, Jean-Michel Deiss and his son Mathieu. Jean-Michel took over the estate in 1973 after graduating from an oenology course at university.
