Vin de France Jeu de Vents La Grange de l'Oncle Charles 2022

Meet Jérôme François, THE trailblazer transforming the Alsace wine landscape! With his unique journey and fresh philosophy, he crafts exceptional wines that truly reflect his personality through a confidential production. Now at the helm of seven hectares of vines, Jérôme François nurtures his passion for viticulture, inspired by his grandfather’s legacy. A passionate advocate for the environment, he champions low-intervention viticulture based on biodynamic principles, and his estate is certified organic. Another standout feature of the estate is the practice of complantation, with different grape varieties planted alongside one another on all the plots. As you stroll through the vineyards during ploughing, you might catch a glimpse of Sirus and Factoche, the estate’s hardworking horses.
His wines boast a unique signature that is subtle, delicate and pure, combining great depth and flawless precision. Jérôme François strives to highlight the rich variety of Alsatian grape varieties and the diversity of its soils. This charming estate flourishes across a vibrant mosaic of terroirs, each one lovingly tended to preserve its unique character.

With a long tradition of producing blends with white grape varieties, Domaine de la Grange de l’Oncle Charles has recently begun to conquer the world of single-varietal wines. This cuvee, made solely from Pinot Noir, comes from complantations, a specific feature of the property: the estate only cultivates multiple grape varieties, whose vines grow mixed together on its seven hectares. A small vineyard that the winemaker is keen to maintain on a human scale, to encourage the fullest expression of his terroirs through organic and biodynamic winemaking. The land is pampered, worked both by horse and by hand.
Dried flowers and pink berries offer a soft, bewitching nose. The aromas develop into fresh red fruits, with raspberries and redcurrants. The tannins are extremely light and give way to impressive density in the mouth. Subtle flavours of acidulous fruit and sweet spices provide a lively and original finish.
