Style: Light-bodied, juicy, and easy-drinking; the two-week whole-bunch co-maceration of Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir together produces a wine that sits between a light red and a skin-contact white — fresh, fruit-forward, with a gentle tannic texture and saline finish; designed to be drunk with a slight chill
Grapes & terroir: Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir; organically and biodynamically farmed granite hillsides around Ammerschwihr, Alsace; the granite soils contribute freshness and vertical minerality; vineyards maintained with permaculture, agroforestry, and regenerative agricultural practices, worked in part by hand and with horses
Winemaking: Hand-harvested and manually sorted in the vineyard; two weeks of whole-bunch co-maceration of both varieties together; lightly pressed after maceration; fermentation with indigenous yeasts; bottled unfined, unfiltered, no added sulfur
Serving temperature & decanting: Serve at 54–58°F; no decanting; also works well slightly chilled; its light structure makes it versatile across seasons
Pairing: Tarte flambée (Alsatian flammekueche)
Similar to: Poulsard from Jura, light carbonic Gamay from Beaujolais, skin-contact Pinot Gris from Alsace

Christian Binner Bombisch! Pinots Macérés 2022 is a skin-contact red-white co-maceration made from Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir grown on granite hillsides around Ammerschwihr in Alsace. Farmed organically and biodynamically using permaculture and regenerative practices, the grapes are hand-harvested and manually sorted before undergoing two weeks of whole-bunch co-maceration together. Christian Binner refers to this style as a vin "blouge," a co-fermentation of white and red varieties. Christian Binner Bombisch! Pinots Macérés 2022 is bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with no added sulfur. Vin de France, Alsace.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Producer profile

Christian Binner

Domaine Christian Binner is based in the village of Ammerschwihr in the Haut-Rhin, in the heart of Alsace. The Binner family has farmed here since 1770, initially in polyculture before transitioning to viticulture full-time after World War II. Even through the era of mechanisation and synthetic inputs in the 1950s, Christian's father Joseph continued to work the land by hand with manure and natural treatments, a choice that preserved vines dating to the 1930s — still in production today — without any exposure to chemicals.

Christian took over the domaine in 1999 and immediately pushed deeper into organic and biodynamic farming, inspired in part by his relationship with Marcel Lapierre, the legendary Beaujolais producer and natural wine pioneer who had been a family friend and had guided Joseph Binner's early no-sulfur winemaking in the 1990s. Christian also worked closely with Pierre Masson, a key figure in applying Rudolf Steiner's biodynamic principles to viticulture. The estate received organic certification in 2004 and Demeter biodynamic certification in 2020. Winemaking without any added sulfur has been in place since 2013. Vineyard work is done by hand and with horses, avoiding soil compaction.

In the 2010s, Binner commissioned a bioclimatic underground cellar built entirely from local materials — Vosges pink sandstone, oak, and fir — designed according to anthroposophical principles with curved forms and no right angles. The cellar maintains stable temperatures naturally, allowing wines to age without temperature-controlled intervention. The estate currently spans approximately 11 hectares, including plots on the Kaefferkopf Grand Cru, the Wineck-Schlossberg Grand Cru, and the Schlossberg Grand Cru. In 2015, Christian launched Les Vins Pirouettes, a collaborative label helping neighbouring Alsatian organic and biodynamic growers make and market zero-sulfur wines from their own cellars.

Wine region

Alsace, France

Alsace occupies a narrow strip of northeastern France between the Vosges Mountains to the west and the Rhine River to the east, bordering Germany's Baden region. Despite its northern latitude, the Vosges create a strong rain shadow that makes Alsace one of the driest wine regions in France, with the town of Colmar regularly recording among the lowest annual rainfall in the country. This combination of warmth, sunshine, and low disease pressure has made it a particularly hospitable zone for organic and biodynamic viticulture.

The region's geology is among the most diverse in the wine world. A single transect moving east across the Alsatian plain can cross granite, gneiss, sandstone, limestone, marl, clay, and loess within a few kilometres. Around Ammerschwihr, where Christian Binner farms, granite dominates the hillsides. Granite soils are typically lean and well-drained, and in Alsace they tend to produce wines with a distinctive vertical freshness and mineral precision. The steep slopes facing south and southeast maximise solar exposure through the long growing season.

Alsace is unusual among French appellations in that wines are typically labelled by grape variety rather than village or vineyard, which reflects the historical practice of the region. The appellation is home to seven principal varieties: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, Muscat, and Sylvaner. Grand Cru Alsace covers 51 designated sites requiring single-variety wines from four noble grapes. The Kaefferkopf, located near Ammerschwihr, was the final site to receive Grand Cru status in 2007.

A significant and growing portion of Alsatian producers farm organically. Estimates from around 2019 put certified organic or biodynamic vineyards at roughly 25% of the region's total vineyard surface — a proportion well above the national French average.
