Domaine Frédéric Mochel: A Legacy of Alsace Winemaking

Frederic Mochel Wine Estate: Crafting Quality Wines Since 1669

Located just 20 km west of Strasbourg, the Frederic Mochel wine estate has been a family-run business in the village of Traenheim since 1669. Nestled between the Bruche and Mossig valleys, this estate is situated in the heart of the La Couronne d’Or vineyard. The Mochel family manages every aspect of winemaking, from grape harvesting to bottling and sales, ensuring that their wines reflect the unique characteristics of their terroir. The estate features an old wine press dating back to its founding year. In 1967, the estate shifted its focus solely to winemaking, ceasing animal husbandry. In 2001, Frederic’s son, Guillaume, took over, blending traditional family values with modern winemaking techniques.

Exceptional Terroir for Premium Wines

Traenheim is in proximity to the prestigious Grand Cru Altenberg from Begbieten, making it an ideal location for vine cultivation. The region's soil, microclimate, and rainfall contribute to the growth of high-quality grapes. Currently, the estate is transitioning to organic farming and pursuing High Environmental Value (HEV) certification. These sustainable practices not only protect the environment but also promote the health of the vines for future generations. The vineyards primarily grow Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, and Gewurztraminer, which are used to produce a variety of natural red, white, sparkling, and dessert wines. The estate's organic methods help preserve the wines' natural fruity flavors, strong structure, and aromatic profiles.
