✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Named 'Vairon'—a French term meaning 'odd-eyed' or having eyes of different colors—this unique cuvée is a playful and poetic tribute to the diverse mutations of the Pinot family. The wine is crafted as a field blend of Pinot Auxerrois, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Noir (vinified as a white wine), all harvested from the estate's biodynamically farmed vineyards in Bergholtz. By co-fermenting these closely related yet distinct varieties in traditional large oak foudres using indigenous yeasts, Dirler-Cadé revives an ancient Alsatian tradition of field blending. This approach coaxes a multi-dimensional expression from the clay-limestone soils, combining the bright acidity of Pinot Blanc, the rich texture of Pinot Gris, the structural depth of Pinot Noir, and the soft fruitiness of Auxerrois into a singular, harmonious, and mineral-driven narrative.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Domaine Dirler-Cadé blev grundlagt i 1871 i den sydalsaciske landsby Bergholtz og forener to historiske vinfamilier, som fandt sammen i 2000 ved ægteskabet mellem Jean Dirler og Ludivine Cadé. Vingården er en sand pioner inden for biodynamisk vinavl i Alsace og omlagde allerede sine marker til biodynamik i 1998 for at fremme den naturlige biodiversitet og bevare jordbundens vitalitet. Familiens fremragende parceller tæller historiske Grand Cru-marker som Kessler, Kitterlé, Saering og Spiegel samt markante lieux-dits som Belzbrunnen og Schimberg. Dirler-Cadé nyder stor international anerkendelse for sine knastørre, terroirprægede Riesling-vine, ranke Pinot Gris, aromatiske Gewurztraminer og fint strukturerede Crémant d'Alsace-mousserende vine.
