Dirler-Cadé

The Dirler-Cadé estate is one of the great historical names of the Alsace vineyard. Established in Bergholtz since 1871, the Dirler family has been cultivating vines for several generations before partnering with the Cadé family in the 1990s. Early on, the estate oriented itself towards demanding and respectful viticulture, becoming a reference in biodynamics in Alsace. This committed vision is part of a constant search for purity, balance, and a faithful expression of the terroirs.

The estate spans about twenty hectares across some of the most beautiful hills in southern Alsace, particularly in Bergholtz and Guebwiller. The vines rest on a mosaic of complex soils – sandstone, limestone, marl, and volcanic – which give rise to very differentiated expressions depending on the specific locations and Grand Crus (Saering, Spiegel, Kessler…). The work in biodynamics helps preserve the vitality of the soils and express with precision the minerality and tension unique to each terroir.

Aujourd’hui dirigé par Ludivine Dirler et Christian Cadé, le domaine Dirler-Cadé est reconnu pour la précision et la droiture de ses vins secs, tout comme pour la finesse de ses cuvées de gastronomie. Les vinifications sont peu interventionnistes, avec des fermentations lentes et des élevages soignés, afin de laisser le vin se construire naturellement. Les vins du domaine se distinguent par leur équilibre, leur profondeur et leur remarquable capacité de garde, faisant de Dirler-Cadé une référence incontournable des grands vins d’Alsace.
