Les Vins Pirouettes Orange Cubique De Francois 2023 750ml

cultivated and vinified by François Bléger, Domaine Bléger, Saint Hippolyte

François Bléger has helmed his family estate in Saint Hippolyte since 1996, taking it over from his father, who previously sold the grapes directly. François began vinifying his own wine in their sandstone cellar, manually harvesting a variety of typical local grapes including Auxerrois, Muscat, Riesling, Pinot gris, Pinot noir and Gewurztraminer. His niece, Clémence, has been working with him the past few years, helping shepherd their conversion to organic farming. Here, they’ve provided us with a structured yet wonderfully easy-drinking new skin contact beauty!
