You can only have me for so long
Blanc 2017/2018 from Alsace.
50% Gewürztraminer & 50% Pinot Gris. The directly pressed juice of Gewürztraminer 2017 has been oxidizing 24 hours in open cuves and afterwards 110 litters was filled in a barrique (so the barrique was only half filled up for one year). In harvest 2018, we did the same with Pinot Gris and mixed the two wines. Bottled in May 2019 Of course this wine have some oxidation, specially from the year when the Gewürztraminer was alone in the barrique, but at the same time, you will find a very aromatic rich fruit that gives an impressing of being sweet without any sugar is left.

On s’éloigne.. ..on s’approche
Blanc 2017 from Alsace.
100 % Gewurtraminer. We wanted to wait for this wine to express something unexpected. For years it gave us only the obvious image of Gewürztraminer. Aromatic fruit as litchi, white peaches, and even jasmine flowers, but not really any elegance. But ones the oxidation started to kick in, it changed the wine and gave it a new direction. It created a new structure and balance. The young fruit became light caramelized, the acidity and the saltiness meet in the oxidation and the wine itself went from having a young fluttering expression to an older and more serious structure. The wine is made in the same way as “Wear me like a flower” inspired by the wines from 2015: Two nights of oxidation of the juice which means that the juice is left in a big open container, for the sediments to fall and to start the fermentation in good way. Afterwards it has been fermenting 6 months outside in fiber tank, followed by 3 ½ years of fermentation and aging in 10 years old barriques
I wear blue, when I don’t know what else to do
Blanc 2017 from Alsace.
This wine has been started in the same way as we have been doing with almost all the whites in Alsace since 2015. Two nights of oxidation of the juice before it was moved to a fiber cuve outside to ferment for about 4 months. Soutirage in the early spring to be followed by almost 5 years of fermentation and aging in old barriques.
