Description
In a nutshell:
This Alsatian Auxerrois is a quietly charming white, with whispers of ripe pear, a touch of minerality, and a honeyed warmth that lingers on the palate.
The lowdown:
The first sip is a little surprise. A shy hint of citrus, perhaps, then a delightful bloom of pear and a whisper of something greener, like fresh herbs in the warm sun. This isn't a wine that shouts. Jean-Baptiste Adam's L'Auxerrois Vieilles Vignes murmurs. It invites you to sit, to savour. The Auxerrois grape, hailing from Alsace, adds a certain charm. But the heart of this wine lies in those "vieilles vignes" - old vines that dig deep into the soil. The grapes are hand-harvested, a touch of tradition in every bottle. They're pressed gently, the slow release of flavour respected. Fermentation happens naturally, the winemaker carefully guiding the process rather than forcing it. It's a philosophy you can taste. Each bottle holds a little piece of Alsatian sunshine, a touch of care, a reminder that sometimes, the most delightful things come from a patient hand.
The Producer:
Jean-Baptiste Adam isn't a winery that'll wow you with flashy labels or overblown tasting notes. They're an Alsace legend, a family-run estate with a knack for the quiet sort of brilliance. Think of it this way: if winemaking was a tweed jacket, they'd have the thing for four centuries, patched here and there, but a damn fine fit all the same. Their backyard is Ammerschwihr, a picture-book village on the Alsace Wine Route. They've got vines in all the right places, including that hallowed Grand Cru, Kaefferkopf. Biodynamics keep things honest in the vineyards - no fireworks, just grapes with backbone. In the cellar, it's about letting Alsace shine. Riesling with laser-cut minerality, Pinot Gris that's plush but never gaudy, a Muscat to send your senses dizzy. None of it screams for attention. But listen closely, and these are wines that tell stories - of soil, vintage, and those Adam family secrets passed down through generations.
When to drink:
This less common variety is certainly a very rewarding wine and lends itself well to things like pork, asian cuisine and blue cheese.
Suitable for Vegans, Biodynamic
