Pinot blanc "Cuvée Vegane" 2023 - Christophe Mittnacht (BD & vin nature)

Fantastic balance between the almond character of the Pinot Blanc and the tight acidity and minerality of the Auxerrois. The nose is expressive and elegant with aromas of pear, yellow fruit and citrus. The taste is lively and fresh with a soft and delicate finish. Huge amounts of fruit and body in one glass.

Domaine Mittnacht is located in the village of Hunawihr near Ribeauvillé. Part of the vineyards of the young dynamic cousins ​​Christophe and Marc Mittnacht fall under the Lieu-Dit's, Cru's and Grand Cru's such as Muehlforst, Rosacker and Osterberg. With full dedication the domaine started in 1998 to banish weed killers, artificial fertilizers and chemical insecticides, and to work completely bio-dynamic.

They fertilize with their own compost, use various natural resources and give the vineyard the strength to naturally defend itself against diseases and maintain the characteristics of the soil.

Since the 2018 vintage, the Mittnacht cousins ​​have split up and Christophe Mittnacht has continued under his own name. He wanted to go a bit more in the (clean) vin nature direction and Marc did not want that. They are on good terms, because they have neatly divided the 22 hectares and help each other where necessary.

Christophe Mittnacht is married to Yuka, a Japanese star chef/sushi chef from Tokyo. Now in Alsace she runs a gîte where she also gives sushi workshops and Christophe of course takes care of the wines.
