Jean-François Ginglinger, a 100% natural vigneron based in Pfaffenheim, south of Colmar, took over his father’s estate in 1999. In cultivating this 6-hectare estate, a third of which is classified Grand Cru Steinert, Ginglinger continues an ancient tradition – his family has been continuously making wine in the region since 1610. Jean, encouraged by his mentor and uncle Gérard Schueller, focused his efforts on transforming his approach in the vineyard, adopting horse-drawn ploughing in 2015. In the winery, conversations and glasses shared with Jean-Pierre Frick, Patrick Mayer and his cousin Bruno Schueller finally steered Jean towards natural, non-interventionist vinifications, and notably without added sulphur. The estate is certified organic and biodynamic since the early 2000s. In 2009, Jean relinquished his biodynamic certification from DEMETER to avoid having to pay the fees, but he continues to practice it in the vineyard. These are high-flying cuvées... wines characterised by highly developed aromas, which only intensify with ageing.
Sulphites-free wine for aficionados
Very different from the usual style of Jean-François wines, no less sublime. A mellow wine with 35 grams of residual sugar/liter, held together by phenomenal acidity. Big complexity on exotic fruits, honey, rose. Long and captivating finish.

With characteristic cherry notes, an elegant nose. While a bit austere in their youth, Jean’s Pinots will need to lie down for a few months in your cellar – but it will be worth the wait! Jean has achieved something very lovely with this cuvée.
Sulphites-free wine for aficionados
Explosive, the typical Ginglinger atomic bomb carried by notes of amarena cherry, small red fruits, soft spices... The palate is fluid and fresh, to be tasted ASAP to enjoy the pure fruit and its mineral terroir! Or cellar it and just wait for it to show its magic.
Sulphites-free wine for aficionados
A bouquet with elegant, characteristic cherry notes. Tangy and pure on the palate, a very juicy wine although a bit austere in its youth, which will reveal its color all the better in a few years, beautiful aging potential.
Sulphites-free wine for aficionados
Complex nose, first fruity on apple and candied pear, then lemon peel, honey, very beautiful minerality. Palate: beeswax, herbaceous and tangy. Big crush ahead for all Riesling-aficionados declined in its most natural and somehow funky expression.
