François Bléger crafts this bright and exuberant skin-contact gewürztraminer under Christian Binner’s sought-after Vins Pirouettes label. Striking a satisfying balance, juicy nectarine and cantaloupe are framed by a savory dimension of salty minerality and lip-smacking tea-tannins. While thoroughly enjoyable on its own, this one also has the oomph to pair with any number of intensely flavored dishes like spicy sardine conservas, merguez sausage, or a Thai curry.
Certified organic. 100% gewurztraminer, 12 days skin-contact. Saint Hippolyte, Alsace, France.
Les Vins Pirouettes is an ever-growing cooperative of organic and biodynamic winemakers in Alsace guided by local legend Christian Binner. While he offers wisdom, experience, and guidance, it is definitively a collective of like-minded farmers, rather than a corporate negociant wine project. Binner states: “Each cuvée is vinified at the winemaker’s own place, by their own team, respecting their history and character.”
