Producer Profile

Les Vins Pirouettes

Les Vins Pirouettes is a project launched by Christian Binner, that brings affordable natural wines to the table, and at the same time helps organic and biodynamic grape growers in Alsace move away from selling their grapes to cooperatives towards making and bottling natural wines. Each cuvée is made at a young grower’s winery, where they supply the grapes and Christian supplies his 20 years of expertise in making natural wine in Alsace, and of course his marketing and distribution savviness. Each cuvée will feature the name of the grower on the bottle. - Jenny & Francois

Where The Wines Come From

Alsace

Alsace, nestled in northeastern France, is renowned for its picturesque vineyards and a rich winemaking tradition dating back centuries. In recent years, this region has become a haven for natural wine enthusiasts, drawn to its commitment to organic and biodynamic practices. With its diverse terroir and cool climate, Alsace produces a spectrum of aromatic white wines, including Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Gris, each expressing unique characteristics of the land. Embracing minimal intervention methods, Alsace winemakers prioritize the expression of terroir, allowing the grapes to speak for themselves with minimal manipulation in the cellar. The result is a portfolio of vibrant and nuanced wines that capture the essence of Alsace's breathtaking landscape and the dedication of its winemakers to sustainable practices.
