Mure is a family owned winery that dates back to the mid 1600's. Located near the magical terroir of Rouffach, the family is a reference for the quality of biodynamic wines.  The Pinot Gris Pierres Sèches ('Dry Stones') takes its name from the dry stone wall terraces found in their Alsatian vineyards.  

On the nose, this Pinot Gris has hints of fresh herbs, yellow pear and some mineral stony tones. On the palate it is well balance and perfectly dry.

Domaine Thomas, a historic estate with winemaking roots dating back to 1670, is now guided by the tenth generation, Julien, son of John and Ginette, alongside his wife Justine. Their deep connection to tradition is matched by a forward-thinking commitment to biodynamic farming, ensuring their 13 hectares in Verdigny thrive in harmony with nature. What sets their Sancerre apart is their dedication to wild yeast fermentation—a rare practice in the region. By allowing indigenous yeasts to shape the wine naturally, they create a Sancerre that is flinty, mineral-driven, racy, and impeccably precise. Each sip reflects the purest expression of the terroir—rocky, fresh, and bursting with layered flavors—all while maintaining an elegant balance at a moderate 13% alcohol. For over 350 years, Domaine Thomas has remained steadfast in its philosophy: Sancerre should be all about terroir—untainted by oak, and reminiscent of a great Chablis, where vibrancy, tension, and crystalline purity define every bottle.

Beautifully aromatic and fresh evoking ripe peach, apricot and grape nuances; the fortification is first class as it is barely noticeable which enhances the floral notes. The palate delivers perfect balance and harmony with the rich ripe, clean fresh sweet pineapple, mango and apricot flavors and the glycerol of the fortification, lovely finesse and acidity. Perfectly suited to fruit based desserts, crème brûlée & is delicious with Roquefort or a mild goats cheese.
