Tino Kuban, a passionate and enthusiastic winemaker, took over the reins of Domaine Bernard van Berg located in Meursault, giving it the charming name we know today, Les Jardins Vivants (The Living Gardens). He cultivates one and a half hectares of vines at the heart of this exceptional terroir, where low yields and early-morning harvests guarantee premium quality fruit. Alongside his rigorous work as a winemaker, Tino has developed his own wine merchant business, Maison Glandien. He sources grapes from partner winemakers and friends located in various winegrowing regions, including Burgundy and Beaujolais, as well as Alsace and the Jura. He seeks out grapes from sustainable, integrated viticulture that comply with his high quality standards. During the vinification process, spontaneous fermentation, minimal use of sulphites and ageing in used barrels all guarantee authentic, flavoursome wines.

Maison Glandien works with the finest plots of Pinot Noir to produce an authentic red wine reflecting the specific characteristics of the terroir and the benefits of healthy, environmentally friendly viticulture. The Pinot Noir grapes are harvested at peak ripeness. The pickers make the most of the cool morning temperatures to harvest the fruit and preserve its freshness and quality. Once in the winery, the grapes are vinified as naturally as possible, without added inputs.
The intense and bright ruby-red reveals a delicate bouquet marked by expressive notes of red fruit such as raspberry and cherry. On the palate, the cuvée displays fruity and spicy notes complemented by a superb acidity providing remarkable freshness and a perfectly balanced structure. The elegant and flavoursome finish offers light hints of wood and incredible aromatic persistence.
