L'Opening Red - Maison Glandien 2021
The estate
Tino Kuban, a well-known young Berlin winemaker with his Les Jardins Vivants estate, has also set up his own négociant house, Maison Glandien, alongside this meticulous work.
He sources grapes from partner winemakers and friends in various wine-growing regions, including Burgundy, Beaujolais, Alsace and the Jura. In recent vintages, some of the wines have even been made directly from grapes grown at his own Les Jardins Vivants estate. In every case, he seeks grapes grown using sustainable, responsible viticulture, in keeping with his high quality standards. During winemaking, spontaneous fermentation, minimal use of sulfites and aging in used barrels all contribute to authentic, flavorful wines.
These wines have been a great success and are particularly difficult to find.

Tasting: Maison Glandien works with the finest Pinot Noir plots to craft an authentic red wine that reflects the characteristics of the terroir and the benefits of healthy, sustainable viticulture. At harvest time, the Pinot Noir grapes are picked at perfect ripeness. The pickers take advantage of the cool morning air to harvest the fruit, preserving its freshness and quality. Once brought to the winery, the grapes are vinified with minimal intervention, as naturally as possible and without additives. |
