La Flandre - Maison Glandien 2020
The estate
Tino Kuban, a well-known young Berlin winemaker with his Les Jardins Vivants estate, has also established his own négociant house, Maison Glandien, alongside this demanding work.
He sources grapes from partner and friend winemakers in various wine-growing regions, including Burgundy, Beaujolais, Alsace, and the Jura. In recent vintages, some of the cuvées have even come directly from his own grapes at his Les Jardins Vivants estate. In every case, he seeks grapes grown using sustainable, thoughtful viticulture, in keeping with his high quality standards. During winemaking, spontaneous fermentation, minimal use of sulfites, and aging in used barrels are the hallmarks of authentic, flavorful wines.
These wines have been a great success and are particularly difficult to find.

Tasting: The La Flandre cuvée is made exclusively from Chardonnay vines in the prestigious Arbois vineyard. Maison Glandien carefully cultivates this grape variety, which is capable of expressing all the distinctive features and character of the terroir with finesse. Every Chardonnay parcel benefits from organic farming, with methods applied using a natural approach. In the vineyards, the grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness early in the day to prevent oxidation caused by light and heat. This high-quality fruit is then carefully sorted and vinified as naturally as possible.
