Winemaking: Organic Pinot Noir grapes were purchased from a neighbouring grower. Whole bunch maceration and fermentation in stainless steel with indigenous yeast. Aged on the lees and bottled with no fining, filtration or added sulphur. 

This Wine: A new red cuvée from Yann made with negotiant Pinto Noir grapes! Much lighter than the Rouge de Pinot Noir cuvée, this is full of crunchy red berries and cherries. Great slightly chilled. For maximum enjoyment, allow the wine to open up for a while before drinking. Only 2650 bottles produced.

Notes on the Winemaker: Yann Durrmann lives in the village of Andlau in the Bas-Rhin department of Alsace. His parents decided to become full time winemakers after the previous generation had explored viticulture as a hobby. They managed to acquire amazing plots on the steep slopes of the Vosges mountains that were not in high demand as farmers looked for sites that could be easily accessed with machines. Since 1998, the vineyards have been farmed organically and in 2007, Yann began to take over the running of the domaine and decided that wines should be produced without sulphur additions, something his parents were very open minded about. The Durrmann cuvées are now in high demand, always recognised for their ability to show honest and pure expressions of Alsace terroir along with their great value.
