Sylvaner Bihl 2024, Jean-François Ginglinger

75 cl

The Jean Ginglinger & Fils estate is a family business in Pfaffenheim, south of Colmar, where vines have been cultivated since 1610. Jean-François Ginglinger, 12th generation, took over his father's operation in 1999 and very early on committed the estate to the path of life: first biodynamic trials in 1997, organic and biodynamic certification in the early 2000s, then a switch to natural wines from 2003. Since 2012, most of the production has been made without added sulfur, with indigenous yeasts and without inputs, on six hectares, a third of which is on the Grand Cru Steinert. The soils have been plowed by horse since 2015. A cousin of Bruno Schueller and close to Gérard Schueller, Patrick Meyer or Jean-Pierre Frick, Jean-François is one of a handful of winemakers who have made "natural Alsace" a benchmark. The character of "Changala" found on his labels is a nod: a caricature of himself, a joyful signature of his turn towards free wine.

Excellent with oysters, seafood, white fish, tarte flambée, blue trout, or fresh and lactic cheeses.

Serene wine — A serene wine is a wine made to be placed on the table, it will be enhanced in the company of a good meal, and long and deep discussions. Alongside it, one hears the clinking of cutlery on plates and stories told in the hubbub, during long meals together.
