Importer Notes: 

In record time Léo Dirringer has made a reputation as an extremely serious and talented winemaker who is well worth keeping an eye on. Born in 1992, Léo grew up on the family’s vineyard Domaine Ruhlmann Dirringer and studied viticulture and oenology. Everything pointed to Léo continuing in the family tracks but after trying a bottle of 2011 Chalasses Marnes Bleues from Jean-François Ganevat he was convinced that there is another way of making wine than what he had seen so far. His wines are elegant, precise, fresh and offer great drinkability boding well for Léo’s continued efforts to become the new superstar in Alsace.

From Dambach-la-Ville in Alsace, this is 70% Pinot Noir, 30% Pinot Gris that co-macerate for 8 days prior to pressing. Spontaneous fermentation and maturation thereafter for 3 months both in concrete vat. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, no additional SO2.
