Pinot noir Le Chant des Oiseaux 2022, Bruno Schueller

Region: Alsace

Color: A regional red wine, a confidential cuvée born from a tiny parcel within the estate. Dark red color with garnet reflections, a generous nose of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant, cherry) enhanced by notes of leather and sweet spices, a juicy and ample palate structured by fine and silky tannins. A precise and sensitive interpretation of Alsatian Pinot Noir, testifying to everything Bruno can draw from a great terroir cultivated biodynamically.

Grape varieties: Pinot noir

Mouth type: A connoisseur's mouth, natural wine no longer scares you, you are ready to enter another dimension, and make breathtaking discoveries. Let yourself be carried away into this world of emotions and surprises!

Service Tips: Serve at around 15-16 °C. Open the bottle at least one hour beforehand, or decant, to allow the full aromatic complexity to unfold.

Guard time: A vintage that needs time to reveal and refine itself – leave it to rest for several years in the cellar to see it gain in depth, or enjoy it today by decanting it for a long time.

WINEMAKER'S STORY — Bruno Schueller, Domaine Gérard Schueller
Bruno Schueller is a prominent figure in Alsatian natural wine, based in Husseren-les-Châteaux, south of Colmar. He continues and perpetuates the work begun by his father Gérard, with rare dedication and a character all his own—frank, uncompromising, and wholehearted.
The estate cultivates approximately 10 hectares on the hillsides of Husseren, Eguisheim, and Voegtlinshoffen, with plots in several Grand Crus (Pfersigberg, Eichberg) and in the lieux-dits Bildstoecklé and Bild, which are dear to the estate. The soils are predominantly limestone, clay-limestone, and marl—a complex geology that gives the wines their mineral signature.
A long-time advocate of natural wine, Bruno ferments without additives and without added sulfites in the vast majority of his cuvées. His wines do not seek to please the Grand Cru commission—like his cousin Jean-François Ginglinger, he embraces a dry, taut style, free of artificial residual sugars. Some cuvées, such as LN 012 (for “yeast number 012”), humorously assert the estate's commitment to natural winemaking.
Across the entire range, one finds the full Alsatian palette—Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Noir—with, for each grape variety, this personal interpretation that has built Bruno's reputation: lively, precise, sometimes perplexing, but always sincere wines deeply rooted in their terroir.

Label & Natural Wines

Some labels can help us identify a natural wine. The AB label, for example, certifies organic farming. The Demeter label, for its part, guarantees biodynamics. There is also the 'Vin Méthode Nature' label, as well as 'Nature et Progrès', 'Les Vins SAINS', and many others.

Some estates choose to adhere to a single label, or even not to be labeled at all, even though their cultivation and winemaking method would allow it. In other words, there is no strict rule. It all depends on the winemaker's vision, his desires, and his convictions.

For us, it is important to meet all the people we work with in order to understand their working method and select the products that match our ideology.

Natural wine

At Terra Vinea, we are deeply passionate about natural wine. We love the emotions it arouses, the surprises a bottle can give us, the memories wine gives us. We also find it important to consume a product grown and vinified with respect for the fauna and flora, preserving all the life around and in it. These convictions are part of us, and we are proud to represent these women and men who put their heart and soul into offering us these living wines.
