Question 1

What is Fleur Maceration?

Accepted Answer

Fleur Macération is Domaine Brand & Fils' single-variety orange Pinot Gris, a skin-contact bottling worked the same way as everything in the cellar: indigenous yeasts, no added SO2, no fining, no filtration. Philippe Brand farms 10 hectares around Ergersheim (Bas-Rhin) under Demeter biodynamic certification, with horse-plow used on the steeper parcels. Pinot Gris on skins gives a wine with quiet tannin, copper color and a savory, almost nutty register that the variety does not deliver in conventional white form. 13.5% alcohol, classic Alsace clay-limestone backbone. A go-to for trade accounts looking for natural-wine credibility plus food-friendliness in the same bottle.
