Wine for sale: Julien Klein

Julien Klein

"I want to make wine, and if I’m not going to produce a lot, then I intend for it to be good!" Such is the ambition of Julien Klein, winemaker based in Kintzheim. And what wines they are! Vibrant, refined, and pure.

A real ‘child of the region’, the son of cooperative winegrowers, he established his estate in Kintzheim in 2017. Winemaker, artisan and farmer in the truest sense of the terms, he puts a great deal of energy into his work in the vineyard, reducing intervention to a minimum in the winery. There, everything is done by hand and foot! Little machinery is used between the rows of vines and the paths are well grassed. The pruning is kept short, the harvest is carried out by hand, and the grape varieties are perfectly suited to the terroir and each parcel. Certified organic and closely attuned to natural winemaking practices, his wines spend two years in the cellar before being bottled. Each bottle produced captures all the richness and complexity of his terroirs, all the history of his localities, all the freshness of his grapes, and all the delicacy of his vines.
The freshness and frankness of his wines have caught the attention of the French magazine La Revue du Vin de France, who have included him, along with 14 others, in their ‘winemakers to watch’ for 2025. So, follow the guide!
