La Grange de l'Oncle Charles
Meet Jérôme François, THE trailblazer transforming the Alsace wine landscape! With his unique journey and fresh philosophy, he crafts exceptional wines that truly reflect his personality through a confidential production. Now at the helm of seven hectares of vines, Jérôme François nurtures his passion for viticulture, inspired by his grandfather’s legacy. A passionate advocate for the environment, he champions low-intervention viticulture based on biodynamic principles, and his estate is certified organic. Another standout feature of the estate is the practice of complantation, with different grape varieties planted alongside one another on all the plots. As you stroll through the vineyards during ploughing, you might catch a glimpse of Sirus and Factoche, the estate’s hardworking horses.
His wines boast a unique signature that is subtle, delicate and pure, combining great depth and flawless precision. Jérôme François strives to highlight the rich variety of Alsatian grape varieties and the diversity of its soils. This charming estate flourishes across a vibrant mosaic of terroirs, each one lovingly tended to preserve its unique character.
