Bourgogne Aligoté Les Fas Bastian Wolber 2023

German-born Bastian Wolber is a promising young winemaker with a career spanning several major European wine regions. Bastian Wolber started out as a passionate and conscientious young German working for a vineyard in Moselle and then for another estate in Alsace. There, he perfected his approach, developing a rigorous work ethic and a deep respect for living things, two values that would stay with him throughout his career. He later joined his brother Christoph working in a number of Burgundy estates, before discovering the wines of Jean-François Ganevat, renowned Jura winemaker, who had a lasting influence on his philosophy of wine and encouraged him to become more involved in natural approach to viticulture with a deep respect of the terroirs. In 2019, Bastian returned to Germany to craft his first cuvées, while continuing his studies at the University of Burgundy and working with revered estates across the region. Slowly but surely, he pieced together a few plots of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which now form the core of his production. Since 2022, based in Volnay, he has focused entirely on his own project, tending or sourcing meticulously chosen parcels in the Côte de Nuits, Côte Chalonnaise and other outstanding Burgundian sites.
A passionate advocate for natural wines and traditional methods, Bastian pursues a deliberately low-intervention approach without inputs or sulfites, and an unwavering dedication to organic and biodynamic principles, both in the winery and in the vineyard. His cuvées are truly fine natural wines, reflecting the purest expression of the terroir, with remarkable minerality and precision. In the winery, his methods follow these same principles: whole bunch vinification, ageing in carefully selected old barrels, and no unnecessary inputs. The result lives up to his commitment: precise, balanced and intense wines, imbued with great authenticity and a unique personality.
Bastian Wolber is an outstanding representative of the young generation of winemakers who, with respect for the terroir and a passion for nature, are skilfully and humbly reshaping the face of contemporary Burgundy.
