The Jintaro Yura estate, located in the heart of Alsace, is renowned for its commitment to ecological viticulture. This estate combines respect for nature with innovation in its winemaking methods, producing wines of great finesse that reflect their clay-limestone terroir.

The "The Bee and the Butterfly" 2023 vintage is a tribute to the Alsatian terroir and the unique expertise of the Jintaro Yura estate. It is crafted from a meticulous blend of Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois, resulting from a unique winemaking process. This wine is aged in three phases: 1/3 in new barrels, 1/3 in old barrels, and 1/3 in stainless steel vats. This technique allows for a combination of freshness, structure, and aromatic complexity, offering a harmonious and captivating wine.

On the nose, The Bee and the Butterfly reveals subtle aromas of fresh white fruits, typical of the Alsatian climate.
On the palate, the wine offers an impressive amplitude, with a perfectly balanced roundness and freshness. The minerality of the clay-limestone soil is reflected in a striking saline finish, while a beautiful linear acidity ensures a refreshing tasting experience.
