Klur Natur, Pet en l'air, Pét-Nat, Alsace, France, 2020

Producer Profile

With the ‘Klur Nature’ project, Clement Klur pushes the boundaries of what it is possible from his small estate on the steep slopes of Alsace.

Intent on producing wines as naturally as possible, his philosophy goes beyond organics and biodynamics, and the wines see no fining, no filtration, and no added sulphur (around 10mg/l in most wines), whilst grapes are handpicked and pressed in tiny traditional presses to ensure as little interference from vine to bottle as possible. This all results in intense flavours and textures that offer a unique and vital expression of variety and terroir.

Viticulture

Great wine always starts in the vineyard. Organic since 2000 Klur Nature is a small 1.7ha vineyard on the hills surrouding Katzenthal, every process is carried out by hand in a biodynamic fashion, with a little help from the horses that are used to plough the rows.

Winemaking

Bottled 3 weeks after the harvest with no added sulphites, no fining and unfiltered. As natural as they come.

Oak Ageing

No oak ageing

Tasting Note

Extremely delicate aromas of grape juice have been extracted from the gentle pressing, with fine bubbles and plenty of length on the finish.

Food Matching

A flavoursome aperitif or for with fish.
