Léo Dirringer

Andlau, Alsace, France

Based in the village of Andlau in the Bas-Rhin, Léo Dirringer is part of a new generation reshaping the identity of Alsace wines—with a deep respect for heritage and a bold, naturalist spirit. After gaining experience at pioneering estates in France and abroad, Léo returned home to take over the family domaine, transforming it into a small, independent project rooted in low-intervention viticulture and expressive terroir.

Léo works exclusively with fruit from estate-owned vineyards in and around Andlau, including sites on complex geological soils—blue schist, pink sandstone, and volcanic—which lend depth and precision to his wines. Farming is carried out with organic and biodynamic principles, without certification, and always by hand.

In the cellar, Léo is fiercely committed to a natural winemaking approach: native yeast fermentations, no fining or filtration, and zero or minimal sulfur. The wines are raised patiently—often in old foudres or neutral barrels—to preserve energy and purity.

His range includes Riesling, Sylvaner, Pinot Gris, Auxerrois, and Pinot Noir, all made in small quantities. The style is taut, mineral, and vibrant, balancing Alsatian generosity with razor-sharp clarity and texture. Each cuvée tells a story of place and intuition—reflecting both the depth of Andlau’s soils and Léo’s thoughtful, uncompromising hand.
