The Durrmann family make wine from their old family house in the middle of Andlau, a beautiful village nestled on the first slopes of the Vosges mountains south-west of Strasbourg. The family are true eco warriors only having electric cars and using solar energy for hot water and heating. Father André was among the first wave of organic winemakers in Alsace, converting in 1998, and son Yann has then taken this a step further applying a natural, minimal intervention approach in the cellar.
From parcels over sandstone and schist, hand harvested and destemmed, macerated gently for three weeks, aged in stainless steel and bottled with no additions.
Deep Pinot showing juicy fruit but good structure, real depth and a persistent, mineral length. Showing well now, but will certainly reward good patience in cellars too.
