A History of "Domaine Guy Mersiol"

Located on the hillsides of Dambach-la-ville in the Alsace region of northeastern France, the Mersiol family heritage dates back to the 18th century.

In 1960, the Estate was expended with the marriage of Guy Mersiol to Anne-Lise Ruhlmann whose family owned an adjoining Estate. These wines are now sold as “Guy Mersiol & Fils”.

 

12 hectares are now planted; 2,5 of which are classified as Grand Cru Frankstein. All wines are Estate grown, vinified and bottled.
Joined by their son Stéphane in 2000, the Estate is now cultivated on an organic way (will be shortly certified) to extract the delicate minerality from our terroir made out of granite.
Christophe, the other son, joined the domaine in 2006 in order to develop the international sales.
