Klur Natur, France

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

Klur have been growing vines in Katzenthal since the 17th century and continue to evolve their proposition. In 1999 the family established a vineyard following organic and biodynamic principles and have over the years become well-known for their natural wines from this classic French region.

Highlights
  • Focusing on organic and biodynamic Alsace wines.
  • Adopting a natural approach to winemaking with no fining, no filtration, and no added sulphur across their small-scale production.
  • The grapes are handpicked and pressed in tiny traditional presses to ensure as little interference from vine to bottle.
