Domaine Achillee ★ 4.5
Dambach-la-Ville · 12 Rue de Dambach, 67750 Scherwiller, France
Pierre and Jean Dietrich rebuilt their Scherwiller estate as Domaine Achillee in 2014 in a straw-bale cellar, Demeter biodynamic and making low-intervention native-yeast wines with minimal sulphur, a recognised Alsace natural-wine address.
Tip: The straw-bale cellar is itself worth a visit; ask for the low-sulphur Riesling and Pinot Noir cuvees to taste Achillee's natural-wine end of the range.
Domaine Geschickt ★ 4.5
Ammerschwihr · 1 Place de la Sinne, 68770 Ammerschwihr, France
Frederic Geschickt runs this 1576-founded Ammerschwihr estate as a recognised Alsace natural-wine address, organic since 1998 with skin-contact whites and zero-sulphur cuvees alongside Kaefferkopf Grand Cru bottlings.
Tip: Ask for a side-by-side of the skin-contact Pinot Gris and a conventional Kaefferkopf Riesling; allocations move through natural-wine specialists.
Domaine Pierre Frick ★ 4.6
Pfaffenheim · 5 Rue de Bauer, 68250 Pfaffenheim, France
Jean-Pierre Frick in Pfaffenheim was an early Alsatian biodynamic convert in 1981 and has produced zero-sulphur cuvees since the 1990s. The estate is a long-running Alsace natural-wine address, Biodyvin-certified with low-intervention winemaking.
Tip: Frick's zero-sulphur Pinot Blanc and Riesling are the calling cards; the Steinert and Vorbourg Grand Cru bottlings sit at the top of the range.
Domaine Barmes-Buecher ★ 4.5
Wettolsheim · 30 Rue Sainte-Gertrude, 68920 Wettolsheim, France
Demeter-biodynamic Barmes-Buecher in Wettolsheim was an early Alsatian voice for native-yeast, low-sulphur winemaking and is widely cited alongside natural-wine producers despite holding full biodynamic certification.
Tip: The Hengst Grand Cru wines are the precise, expressive end of the range; the Cremant d'Alsace is a low-sulphur traditional-method sparkler.
