Laurent Bannwarth
In Alsace, Laurent Bannwarth deliberately pursues a unique approach, exploring unconventional winemaking techniques using regional grape varieties. The estate focuses particularly on maceration times of varying lengths, resulting in coppery white wines with textured profiles, without seeking effect for effect's sake.
The approach remains artisanal and evolving, guided by observation rather than a rigid doctrine. Winemaking prioritizes precision and balance, preserving freshness and sufficient clarity despite the bold technical choices. The wines exhibit fine structures, sometimes marked by delicate tannins, but always well-integrated.
The entire collection of wines offers a unique interpretation of Alsace, intended for those who wish to move beyond the region's classic expressions. These wines intrigue with their texture and depth, while maintaining a truly cohesive whole.
