Domaine Gerard Neumeyer winery
Domaine Gerard Neumeyer is a family-owned winery located in the heart of Alsace, France, in the village of Molsheim. The estate traces its roots back to the 1920s, when the Neumeyer family began cultivating vineyards in this historic wine region. Today, the domaine is managed by Gérard Neumeyer and his son Thomas, who continue the family’s dedication to expressing the unique terroirs of Alsace through their wines.
The domaine covers approximately 16 hectares of vineyards, spread across some of the region’s most esteemed sites, including the Grand Cru Bruderthal. The diversity of soils—ranging from clay-limestone to marl—allows the Neumeyers to produce a wide array of varietal wines, each reflecting the distinct character of its origin. The estate is planted with classic Alsatian grape varieties such as Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Muscat, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Noir, as well as Sylvaner and Auxerrois.
Committed to sustainable viticulture, Domaine Gerard Neumeyer has been certified organic since 2011. The family believes that healthy soils and minimal intervention in the vineyard are essential for crafting wines that are both vibrant and true to their origins. Vineyard work is carried out by hand as much as possible, with a focus on maintaining biodiversity and respecting the environment. This philosophy extends to the cellar, where the winemaking process is guided by a desire to preserve the purity and freshness of the fruit. Fermentations are carried out with indigenous yeasts, and the use of sulfur is kept to a minimum.
The wines of Domaine Gerard Neumeyer are known for their clarity, precision, and balance. Their Rieslings are particularly celebrated for their mineral-driven profiles, combining citrus and floral notes with a vibrant acidity. Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer from the estate display aromatic complexity and texture, while maintaining a sense of elegance and restraint. The domaine’s Grand Cru Bruderthal bottlings are standout examples, offering depth, structure, and aging potential that reflect the pedigree of the site.
In addition to their white wines, the Neumeyers produce expressive Pinot Noir, which has gained increasing recognition as Alsace emerges as a notable region for red wine. These Pinot Noirs are crafted with the same attention to detail as the whites, resulting in wines that are fresh, fruit-driven, and nuanced.
Domaine Gerard Neumeyer is also dedicated to innovation and experimentation. The family has embraced the production of natural and low-intervention wines, including orange wines and pétillant naturel (pet-nat) sparkling wines, which appeal to a new generation of wine enthusiasts while staying true to the estate’s core values.
With a deep respect for tradition and a forward-looking approach, Domaine Gerard Neumeyer has established itself as a leading producer in Alsace. Their wines are exported internationally and can be found on the lists of top restaurants and wine merchants. The estate welcomes visitors for tastings, offering an opportunity to experience firsthand the passion and craftsmanship that define their work. Domaine Gerard Neumeyer stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of family, terroir, and innovation in Alsace winemaking.
