What Domaine Viticole de la Ville de Colmar does

Domaine Viticole de la Ville de Colmar is a French municipal winery operating 28+ hectares of vineyards across three estates in the Alsace region: the eponymous 14-hectare Domaine, the Clos Saint-Jacques near the winery, and the prestigious Hospices Civils de Colmar Louis Pasteur vineyards. The legal operating entity is ARTHUR METZ SAS, a société par action simplifiée with €18,000,000 share capital, registered in Marlenheim under RCS Saverne 675 480 081, with Madame Orianne HELFRICH as Director of Publication.

The business runs a direct-to-consumer model with no disclosed wholesale or HORECA channels. Distribution is via an owned e-commerce platform (en.domaineviticolecolmar.com) with France Métropolitaine delivery (6-bottle minimum, €15-€25 shipping, free over 35 bottles, fulfilled by TNT Express in 8 business days standard or 24-hour express), and two physical retail locations in Colmar: the wine shop and tasting room at 2 Rue du Stauffen and a downtown shop at 27 Grand'Rue. Pricing is unit-based per bottle, ranging from €6.00 for entry-level petits formats to €34.50 for raspberry brandy, with premium sweet wines at €28-€29.50.
