Natural Wine from Lorraine

A vineyard in full renaissance

Lorraine was once a vast vineyard that successive wars reduced to a paltry 180 hectares. However, despite the limited surface area allocated to viticulture, the Lorraine vineyard still has much to teach us about our local terroirs and about vibrant wines. Global warming is actively contributing to milder viticultural conditions and allowing for surprising results in the unique expression of Pinot Noir and Gamay. Natural red wines, light in tannins but with true identities and aromatic depth, are obtained.

Rare whites and a booming natural dynamic

Although natural white wines are largely in the minority, there are Chardonnay and Auxerrois, with volume and deliciousness profiles typical of clay-limestone soils. This revival of the Lorraine vineyard has allowed a biodynamic and natural approach by winegrowers who are today making its reputation on the rise, like Pierre Andrey . A vineyard to follow very closely in the years to come.
