Christian Binner — maker of legendary zero-zero wines in Alsace for over 20 years — launched Les Vins Pirouettes to support small vignerons in making soulful, terroir-driven wines under their own names, a welcome alternative to selling their grapes to co-ops at criminally low prices. Each cuvée is vinified at the winemaker’s own place, by their own team, respecting their history and character. Eros by Pierre comes from Pierre Bannwarth at Domaine Pierre de Vigne in Eguisheim: Gewurztraminer from the Grand Cru Hatschbourg, a full-south slope, balanced by Muscat from a north-oriented parcel. Yin and yang — Pierre’s words — poised in a delicate balance.

Generous and easy to drink, Eros falls on the less-funky end of the orange wine spectrum — a perfect entry point for the style and a reliable anchor at the table. 100% destemmed, five days on skins, six months in stainless, zero additions.
