Description

Domaine Bohn’s Coup de Jus is a highly original organic Alsace wine. It is a blend of Pinot Noir infused with white wine juices from the Schieferberg (schist mountain). The grapes are harvested by hand and vinified naturally without additives.

Bernard and Arthur Bohn cultivate their unique schist and volcanic sandstone terroirs using environmentally friendly methods. They tend the soil with great care. The diversity and preservation of local flora and fauna are fundamental to the estate’s vineyard. Native grass cover grows on the ground; the grass is not mown but rolled into a vegetative mat. Here, organic farming is not just a gimmick: chemicals are avoided through the practice of ecological and environmentally respectful viticulture.

All vintages are harvested by hand. Yields are deliberately kept low. Bernard is also the estate’s oenologist. Demanding when it comes to quality, he explains that the wine must reflect, without artifice, the terroir and climate from which it originates. He advocates minimalist winemaking without the use of oenological products. For the majority of the cuvées, vinification concludes with a long ageing period in old Alsatian casks. Or in barrels to achieve the balance and length of great gastronomic wines. Mineral, fresh, light, persistent and very easy to drink.
